Protip: Stop being lazy
- goldname 5y agoYour assumption is incorrect. I love to work. Just not corporate work.
- jstx1 5y agoIt's difficult - 30-60% of trait conscientiousness is genetic - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82781-5 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82781-5 Even more difficult when you add some mental health problems on top of it.
- muzani 5y agoI've been in the situation of working 10 hours/week. I'm pretty sure that it's as damaging to your mental health as overwork. It's like being obese because you don't exercise and not exercising because you're not fit enough to. I often define work-life balance as a point where you have enough of a life to escape from work and enough work to escape from life. When there's not enough work, you don't actually get that escape.
- andrei_says_ 5y agoObesity has much more to do with diet and genetics than exercise. The human body is freakishly efficient and you’d need to run for miles to “exercise out” a couple of cookies. There are over a dozen cookies in a box.
- mettamage 5y agoThe most charitable interpretation I can give this question is to treat it like a hypothetical. From that perspective, this is quite a fun question to ask!
- giantg2 5y ago"Protip: Stop being lazy" Why? Maybe they've already worked hard and made enough. Or maybe they're like me and worked hard but was never rewarded for it, so why continue trying.
