If you're gonna do something fun, do it without guilt. Otherwise it is not recreation and you're actually wasting time. Work when you can, and when you can't, have fun with complete abandon.

Every minute you're enjoying is never time wasted.

For a bit I thought his mouth was a Hitler-stache and thought "At least he got around to shaving that off"

Woah. Yeah, I thought he was just super depressed (thinking his 'sad looking' chin was his mouth). You pointing this out completely re-contextualized the comic.

I don't like the stereotyping of the angel/devil statements.

It's different for anyone. Gtfo with further your life goals (for me).

Shoulder angel is on that grindset mindset.

I'm going tree planting today! Yay productivity!

My life goal is to do the least amount possible, relax and reflect..... So, as far as I'm concerned, this guy is winning hard.

Oh c'mon, you know in the bottom 2 frames he wasn't just sitting there doing nothing. He stared at a screen all day. After spending hundreds of weekends like that, the guilt eventually goes away.

Not for me.

Yep, I easily get paralysed when I need to do something with any kind of speedbump ahead of it. I procrastinate, am stressed the whole time and I'm pretty sure I'm cutting years of my lifespan doing it. And I feel as if aging makes it worse.

What I just do is if I'm not feeling it or feeling it, I will just do whichever is the strongest.

angel and devil don't make sense, does show choice paralysis, I ahve spent hours not even looking at my screens like whole seasons pass by and I cant decide what I want to do, like not one bit of whats on my tv has been processed by me, im just going back and forth on what I should do, then its dark outside
