And just think -- you could be like me and focus on neither house chores NOR health!

My name is Steph L., and I approve this message.

And I managed to get in exercise on both days. Unfortunately that still left a number of tasks on the table.

1) good for you, prioritizing exercise.
2) there will *always* be tasks on the table. Always. I was talking to a colleague lately about how any grown up who says they are "bored" has to be slacking somewhere. I have very mixed feelings about this.

I am still struggling to find the work/home/health/social balance, and am trying to come to terms with the fact that it is an eternal process. Why is everything a process? Why are there so few things in life that are one and done?

I think a person can still be bored without slacking somewhere. Because, frankly, washing the dishes ain't that exciting. Hell, most people's jobs have boring parts. Sometimes people zone out when their spouse/SO is talking because Conversation #398 about Batman (for example) is boring as shit.

Life can just be boring sometimes.

I shouldn't have stayed up till 1 AM playing D&D last night, but it was a good game.

Ayup. Or the reverse - right now I'm slacking by talking with my invisible internet friends instead of doing the boring dishes! If productivity wasn't boring as shit sometimes, we wouldn't be gamifying everything.

There's being bored and there's thinking "there's nothing to do". That second is incomprehensible. Then again, there's thinking "there's nothing I want to do available to me", which is different.

ETA: and I'm pretty convinced that truly honestly having nothing to do is desirable, maybe necessary.

I never want to DO my dishes. I like having DONE the dishes.

This morning I dropped off my son at school. Went to an appointment. Picked up a prescription at the pharmacy. Got gas. Did a bit of work. Then went for a coffee with a tech recruiter (not looking for job, just to network). I also got the new battery in the Nissan since I didn't want it tumbling in my trunk. Didn't have time to get tools and actually hook it up, but it is in the car now. Now I need to hunker down and examine code.

Actually, that sounds like a good choice.
