If you’re too tired to work on the hardest thing rn, you’re too tired to work on anything at all.

[Is this true?] It’s improved my relationship with rest and recreation. https://t.co/eZ8mc5U4vT

If you’re too tired to work, you’re too tired to recreate. If you’re too impatient to reexperience, you’re too impatient to experience really. https://t.co/zSVXKBY6yi

It makes me work with a different mind. I don’t care for busy work anymore. I care about the single most important thing to do that I can get away with just doing on a 10-year timescale. https://t.co/PtkVMycj9W

When I’m in my Worrying mind, and think about what to do - tries to fit everything together - picks the greatest # of have-to-do things When I’m in my Inspired mind, and think about what to do - the day’s #1 most important priority comes to mind - wht do I wanna do about that? https://t.co/lPRjdrpTvP

@AskYatharth What's coming up for me is "there's no such thing as tired".

@AbhayPrasanna for me what comes up: there is no tired. just “i don’t wanna do this rn / am scared / doesn’t feel there is a worthy enough felt context such that sleeping or being ‘too tired’ to do it is the mental move to make to not do it”

Amazing how I can turn anything into work. 💁‍♀️🤙 Calling my friends? 💼🤧 Feels like work. Got to get through it. Work is not the action you take. It is a state of mind. Work is whenever you’d rather be doing something else.

@AbhayPrasanna but still the watching is a different kind of watching, a more restful kind, and i kinda wanna stop after, because i just have so much more energy all of a sudden now

This actually has a name, and it's called Reactance. It’s the motivational arousal you get from feeling like you can’t do certain things to reassert your freedom again. https://t.co/8vWucJeu80
