man someone came back salty from their hiatus.

I thought your whole thing was sharpening us soft millennials with your gay jokes and shit. Now when people give you shit to try to sharpen you up it’s because we’re obsessed with you. Okay

If one's mantra is, "do your best," then being a lazy piece of shit isn't going to meet that goal.

Lazy isn't sleeping. Lazy isn't resting. Lazy isn't even laying on the floor for 10 minutes staring at the ceiling wondering if your boyfriend was too rough when he pulled your hair really hard the last time he mounted you. Lazy is chronic inaction when someone should be acting.

This is interesting because it is something I’m currently dealing with. There is a lot of inaction in my life at the moment. I am spending about 5 hours a day looking for jobs to apply for, finding people to connect with, networking and tweaking my resumes. There are a lot more hours in the day than that, and I could be spending more time on it, but would 3 or 4 more hours a day be more productive or would it increase potential burn out or mistakes? If I break up the day and play some video games I do feel a bit guilty but should I? This is the struggle between deciding if is it laziness or is it managing mental health.

Hindsight is always easier.

There have been times in the past when I haven't known which direction to put my effort. Those are the hardest times in my life. Knowing the right direction and working hard feels great.

Applying to schools and looking for a job are difficult times. In hindsight, it seems like we waste so much effort pursuing paths that didn't pan out, etc. However, I think the old adage, "hard work paves the path for luck" is something to hold on to in uncertain times.

I think there are ways to find a middle ground in what you posted. Video games are totally awesome, but maybe instead of 3-4 hours a day, you could sneak a workout in to break up the video gaming. Keep your mental health up with appropriate breaks and leisure - it's hard because of the uncertainty around finding a job. However, I've never regretted spending time working out or actively improving myself.

When I was last looking for a legal job, I started learning how to play the guitar. I would set a goal to send out at least one completed application (cover letter, resume, etc.) and then work on a chord or finger exercise (with Mako's mom). I still fucked around and played video games, but the progression of learning to play helped structure my time. It also gave me something to focus on other than, "when the fuck is that firm/company going to get back to me?"
 
Wait, did DDD seriously quit because he was triggered that someone was lazy?
 
Goddamn the dumb shit people quit these boards over.
