By “nothing”, I don’t just mean tasks that I <em>have</em> to do, but also activities that I <em>would like</em> to do.</p>

<p>Sometimes, it feels like I’m in a sleep paralysis, begging myself to wake up, move, and grab the paper and pen, <em>for fuck’s sake</em>. It’s disheartening to know that the only action that I can consistently do is to scroll. And it is especially stressful because I know how this passivity can influence my mental health and my future; my assignments, my studies, this website, and even that movie I’ve been planning to watch since two weeks ago need me. But I simply don’t have enough energy.</p>

<p>The worst part is that it’s a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22_(logic)">catch-22</a>: I need to motivate myself to solve my motivation issues. Funny, isn’t it?</p>

<p><small>And no, lowering my expectations won’t work.</small></p>]]></content><author><name>Petricor</name></author><category term="notebook" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[It’s Saturday and I’ve done nothing; likewise, tomorrow I’ll probably do nothing.

<p>I wonder if this is the normal process or a sign that my brain is decaying due to screens and LLMs. Perhaps I am just not used to writing recreationally. I should do more stuff for fun.</p>
