Learning how to be unproductive

If there's a thing I am hugely always feel guilty of is my doomscrolling addiction. There's always political crises, economic collapse, bank runs, public health emergencies, and so on. It doesn't really matter how I am trying to limit my doomscroll, sometimes it just quickly slips. That because a part of me craves that unproductivity.

The trigger to doomscroll for me is mostly trying to escape from the actual boring work I have to do. I am sure it is different with others. I feel like I am always required to be productive and doomscrolling is a way for me to be less productive and give myself a pat in the back.

These days, everything is optimized to be something productive. Even advice out there are all about optimizing productivity and something that'll give us benefit. And I've done a lot of of those. So, sometimes, I need to do the things that hinders me from being productive. Maybe it's just my baseline that I am fixed to be productive. So, that's why I need actual unproductivity in my life.

Sometimes, it's okay not to know how to fix things. I do not need to react, I do not need to think, I am allowed to do nothing and I am allowed to be unproductive.
