Being productive feels a lot better than lazing around doing nothing
it depends.
in the moment, when you're inert, laying there, you feel comfort in that nothingness.
but then you feel like shit for not having gotten anything done, provided that you ever cared to do some particular thing you may or may not aspire to do. you need something that you care to do.
then when you are productive, it feels great, even if it's tiresome as hell and you're overworking yourself as you push onward, at least you made progress.
but they can both feel just as good. the former has shitty side-effects long-term, the latter may have shitty side-effects in the moment if not done in a healthy manner.
of course being productive is still preferable in most cases.
but it's good to appreciate the feeling of doing nothing every once in a while, as long as it doesn't consume you, and trap you in an inertia loop.
