I am, btw, one of the laziest people I know. Maybe all my friends and colleagues are over achievers? And that includes all y'all who are constantly getting tons of stuff done and cultivating yourselves and your gifts.
It me. I literally have a hard time figuring out what is a sign of depression in me and what is just my usual disinclination to do anything.
I do this too. Rinse and toss in the dishwasher.
Yeah. I have seen un-rinsed dishes go in and come out clean, but I just can't do it.
My wife just suggested I should take a few days off work to specially not be productive.
Your wife has a point, although I think to truly enjoy those days off, you should also give yourself permission to not be especially productive around the house, either. Just time to recharge and reboot.

OH MY GOD. This entirely me.

We are alike, Dana. Sometimes I think I'm really depressed and need to get it treated, and other times I think I've always been like this and it's just me.

Yep yep yep. I mean, I feel like even with no commute and no kids, I barely get shit done and instead spend too much time reading or on the internet. But at my dad's 70th birthday party some relatives were talking about some genetic predisposition to something (hearing loss with aging or something) and came around to "well, [our last name] are lazy. Smart but lazy". So apparently its familial, to use the smarts to be more lazy!

Since I haven't lived full-time with a dishwasher since 1996, I am looking forward to the apparent golden age of automation we now live in, where dishwashers can get shit clean without the need to clean everything by hand first. I don't fully believe in it yet, but I'm willing to try. (Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleasekitchenrenovationpeoplestartandendonschedulepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease)
I think the slacker thing comes from the Puritans. If you don't have busy work to do, then you ahve time to think, and if you have time to think you have time to question.
Dishwasher, yay!

That sounds like an excellent idea. You do a lot!

Oh, hello voice inside my head, how did you get into Dana's post?
In two months, I will have a dishwasher installed for the first time in my adult life and I cannot WAIT.
Jealous!
I always do somethings on the weekend to go toward improving the house, but I never quite get it to clean.
I seem to be willing to vacuum and dust much more to see if helps my poor cat's allergies than I am for my own peace of mind. Ironically, I'd say 60% of the dust is cat hair.
