me: I don’t know why mindless, repetitive tasks are so mentally draining

I’m exhausted

more exhausted than I ever was coming home from TLC

pleasdtomeetme: hahaha

if you don’t like something, then you can’t do it

me: yeah

pleasdtomeetme: notice how you’re always too tired to clean your room but never too tired for happy hour

what’s it, something like “a man can do any quantity of work provided it’s not what he ought to be doing”

Robert Benchley! It’s from the essay “How to Get Things Done.”

“The psychological principal is this: anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment.”
