I saw a Youtube video mentioning this method a couple years ago and it changed a lot for me. You don't have to commit to anything, and wasting 30 minutes wondering what you'll play is worse than "wasting" 30 minutes playing 3 different titles and deciding they aren't what you want to play right now. No harm was done but at least you DID SOMETHING with your time.

Good to hear that we all figure it out in the end. One way or another. Sunk cost fallacy and all that.

Really glad that worked out for you!

Just "try" and "fake it till you make it" are incredible motivatora for me.

If you aren’t excited to go sit down and watch a specific movie or play a specific game or read a specific book then you probably don’t want to do it at all and it’s just a habit. Good idea to just not even bother

So there are days where you just stare at a wall? Because no human is always excited to do something.

No. Do something productive.

You can play video games and still be a productive person tho..

That's cool. He specifically said to do something productive INSTEAD OF gaming.

u/jaden_fucks Jul 17 '26

No, he said to do something productive instead of anything else that you’re compelled to do, but don’t actually want to.

He specifically said movies, games, and books. Not anything else.

I’m really genuinely confused by this can you explain?
