    Plan your “free” time.

    If couchmaxxing is important to you, put that time on your calendar. Don’t call it “free time” when you budget for it. Call it a “recharge interval” or something else that denotes how important it is.

    There’s no such thing as free time. We’re all granted a finite number of hours in our life. Use them wisely. Time to chill is important for mental health and should be treated as such.

      I don’t know why someone down voted this.

      I’ve had several friends block off time on their calendar for i-dont-know-what. It was marked as busy and it could’ve been anything from napping to elden ring. It’s their time.

      Though I think a lot of people don’t use a calendar for their personal life and I can’t relate to that level of chaos. I can’t remember my plans and everyone’s birthdays in my head.

        I’ve replied a few times over the years with similar versions of this. It always gets downvoted.

        I’m literally telling people “take control of your life; your recreation time belongs to you and you deserve that time, so protect it” and that’s too much responsibility for some people.
