idk i guess it shouldnā€™t be causing me issue because compared to other semesters itā€™s not as math intense but work always expands

People have a base need to relax

  • The amount of things that a human being can do in one day and
  • The amount of things that a human being can do every day for an extended period of time without going crazy

Are very different things

I ignored all my coursework for 4 days to do mathematical modeling and am now behind and did poorly on an abstract algebra quiz bc I forgot to explicitly state that some results were in the group that they were obviously in

I think a lot of people have a lot of grief over the fact that stress affects them and they canā€™t harness every hour in the day. I definitely do. But to borrow from the Kinetic Battery Model that I was thinking about for 4 days, thereā€™s a difference between existing time/energy and accessible time/energy

This might just be the May University talking, but I donā€™t know anybody in college whoā€™s likeā€¦ really dedicated to a hobby and doesnā€™t feel like coursework is interfering

really smart people tend to be depressed more often.
now i think thatā€™s in part to getting the world more, but i also think its because of what they lack

My roommate goes hiking but only when thereā€™s a day off. My other roommate fences, which causes him to miss dinner basically every day, heā€™s never here. My girlfriend designs jet engines but thatā€™s a career progression thing

Anyway. If you really want to do hobbies, and thereā€™s nothing stopping you from doing them, but you find that you donā€™t end up doing them because you need to relaxā€¦ probably you need to relax, and/or find ways to reduce stress or get yourself more energy*, because thatā€™s the actual barrier to doing hobbies, not Grit and Determination

*Iā€™m repeating the problem statement here a bit: what I mean is making sure youā€™re eating a good amount every day, have good sleep hygiene, etc.
