I like how she sidesteps something that can really ruin a day off: the feeling you should be making the most of it. Sometimes on a nice sunny day, i feel like i should go out an paddle on the lake or go for a bike ride when i'd really rather just putter about the yard. That puts me in a mind state where i'm not enjoying myself because i feel i should always be doing something else.

#97If you're planning to spend the day alone like this, a useful life hack I've learned is to skip the shower, and spend the time saved staving off the existential dread by reading webcomics.
