>>Perhaps he subconsciously doesn't believe in his success?

Maybe the guy watching movies is trying to relax?

I used to have bad self insight into how worn out I was. Now I try to listen to my body and take it easy when needed.

Sooo... Today I exercised. Tomorrow I'll watch Pan's Labyrinth, which I just bought on Bluray. And I won't read up on a few class libraries I want to learn more than seeing that movie again... :-)

Edit: I should write out the point simpler: Maybe the guy has a bad year/decade for some reason beyond his control (family, health, stress, etc).
