It's called a day off, not day on.

The trick is to make the stuff feel like things without letting the things feel like stuff.

Ohh my whole unemployment since April! I start work next week and I'm on here instead of finishing my to do list...

Removing distractions helps, from my experience. In my case at least, I usually leave the phone running videos and podcasts I can consume passively, no need to focus on it, on PC I use RSS to quantify the accumulation of posts and stop when I open the posts past that (since I have a backlog there too), and consoles I leave turned off when I'm not playing them.

I used to schedule all these reminders for things I intended to do. They just made me irritated and feel bad as I kept delaying / rescheduling them. I don't do that anymore, for the most part. I've stopped keeping track of the things I won't do. If I think of it, I might take care of it. This only works because I'm now in a relationship with someone who makes sure I do the things that matter most.

Looks like a workday to me.

Seems like every weekend for me lately.

Haven't worked for the last decades, and am still at "oh no" and "I did wanna do chore X" 😁
