I'm not a machine. I need rest and recreation to function properly. I sometimes get sick or sleep poorly. I sometimes get bursts of inspiration. There's no telling what condition I'll be working with on a given day.

But perhaps you're right. Perhaps I'm casting my vote against being some sigma grindset, 4 AM cold showers, audiobooks at 3X speed kind of guy. The other guy seems more chill.

It's a gross post that wasn't worth the read. It's just a guy reciting his latest resume updates.

Not sure if it was posted in earnest, but either way the dude is trying too hard. Hard work is a virtue, a bullet list of your own isn't.

You're voting for the You that takes care of themself. Good!

Woah I didn't know doing audiobooks at 3X was perceived as some kind of a virtue.

I do it out of pure laziness. Particularly, all youtube things (with 'Video Speed Controller ' extension) at 2 or 3x because I just can't can't can't put up with normal speed.

It's part of the sigma grindset meme. A while ago Business Insider ran short videos about entrepreneur routines and it was a montage of this sort of nonsense. Then you look back and realise that all the guy did was answer two emails. It was derided and parodied.

Why would this perspective not be compatible with rest and relaxation?

Did you see the list of what the guy did? At no point did he include rest and relaxation. He's clearly fetishizing productivity.

Not everyone needs the same amount of rest and relaxation though.

Some folks just have what it takes to spend almost every waking moment maniacally focused on their chosen pursuit all the way until a ripe old age. These are the folks that usually end up putting a dent into the universe.

why don't you take action to get some rest. Take action to do something fun for recreation. Vote by action to be happier. They key is just take action that gets you closer to who you want to be.

I'm sick and my body needs rest
