    I used to be the same :) But a while back, I was hospitalized for severe depression. I learned in IOP that doing something you love to warm up for the day - instead of immediately pursuing productivity - improves happiness and helps me look forward to the day instead of dreading it and making it hard to get out of bed in the morning.

      I like this notion. Now how do I stop doing the “something I enjoy” and start doing “something productive”, after I’ve already started becoming hyperfixated?
