It bothers me when I’m not productive. For the last two weeks, I’ve spent my days off pretty much doing nothing: didn’t work out much, didn’t write, all that jazz. I felt like I needed a break, at least a slowdown from exercising, but that feeling didn’t make taking a break easier. How can laziness
