what if i just didn't do anything important ever
Conversation
i occasionally fantasize about being thrown into jail or similar because then (i imagine) i wouldn't have to deal with the constant background low-level guilt over wasting time, not "living up to my potential," etc. it would be in some sense a relief to have my options taken away

i have been playing a very bad mobile game and it has been showing me uncomfortable things about my soul. there is some kind of very deep-seated "completionism" thing going on. i want so badly to be "done" (with my homework??? 🤔🤔🤔)

several summers ago i spent something like 200 hours playing hyperdimension neptunia, a game whose main gameplay loop is literally just a sequence of fetch quests, and it worked on me because i wanted to check off all the boxes. i literally let this game assign me homework

college was great because i just blew through my homework and got to feel “done” most days but in grad school there was a neverending sense that i hadn’t done enough work (which was true, i was barely working) so i pretty much never got to feel “done” and that was crushing

My life is embarrassing right now... My "goal" has been "making enough Battle Net dollars, so that I never have to play for a Blizzard game again". Eww.
To be fair, my car is in the shop, I have an anarchist travel podcast planned for next week.
In answer to your og question...

It will bother you. That is all.
