Yeah something happens where the achievement in the arbitrary job becomes a main dopamine driver. You feel like you're progressing by getting stuff done fast, but really you're just on a hamster wheel working for some big company.

You gotta use your time off to do other stuff. That's why people travel etc, because it changes your environment, people, food, etc. It lets you step out of that daily routine and mental pathways and feedbacks.
