The Tired Feeling All INTJs Experience But Can't Describe 

This makes so much sense and explains why sometimes I just "shut down". Not in a depressive way, I'm still working, but I don't have a drive to leave home, I just want to watch something in my PJs and not speak with anyone. Usually it goes on its own after a day or two. I noticed it's mostly correlated with a lot of stress.

I think the better term for "mama's out" would be "autopilot". You are correct; it's not depression or laziness. Under stress at work or in family life this can and does result in periodic episodes of autopilot for an undetermined duration. Once my autopilot shuts off and copilot mama returns to the cockpit it's all business. Suddenly a new elegant code block is written, the house is cleaned in record time, and trouble tickets at work (I work in IT) get effective solutions as if I've morphed into a fighter jet and am going ballistic.

Dang. I’ve always just called it “Meh”. I’m not happy, but I’m not depressed. I only do what I need to (food and hygiene are optional because I’m not hungry or trying to impress). All the junk food and games are me trying to simulate myself with pleasures. It only works until I stop. This goes on until it goes away and I am back being energetic and over productive

100% accurate. Mama was out for months here. It actually became a bit frightening because that is the longest I had experienced this. So glad Mama came back from her cruise!

Quickest way to get "momma back" is to engage my brain in non-task driven activities and sleep. I accept it, fully embrace it because I know "momma will be back" quicker if that overhinking, analysing and problem solving brain just shuts down and defragments till its done.

I told my boss yesterday, I wasn’t on my A game, I was on my C’s get degrees game. It usually for me gets triggered when there’s a lot new things/unexpected things going on because Momma can handle new things, but when there’s a lot “up in the air” and new things being thrown at me that are uncertain, I can’t form a game plan around it. Momma is like “yeah there’s nothing to work with here, and I’m just gonna check out…”

I call this "autopilot". I'm monitoring the plane to ensure nothing crazy happens, but I'm not fully in control per se. This allows me to get the Se crap done while I continue to think/plan my next steps on the stuff I'm REALLY working on. It isn't until something jolts me out of autopilot (good or bad) that I'm able to get out of this mood.

So accurate bro 🤣 the story was abstract but you actually were able to explain it. “We do it because we can” lol so true! Thats when the organization of junk starts happening too 😹 cleanest junk piles around

As an INTJ I call it my "Mellow" mood.

I call it mild depression. I'm still able to function minimally every day but my soul and purpose seems to be gone and I can't get it back. It's like being a 'floating being' just going through the motions in life.

It's so accurate. For me, mama's out from Friday afternoon, until Sunday evening. In the weekdays I am very productive and I plan how much I could accomplish in the weekend, when I have very little to do, but when it actually comes times just flies without anything actually happening.

I refer to this feeling as malaise. This happens whenever I'm working toward something and have to rely on other people and every step forward feels like a major effort because those people make it difficult to progress. After a while the constant high effort for little gain wears me down and saps my energy. Mama's been out for a few weeks now. I hope she comes back soon.

"Stagnation" is the only way I can describe this feeling in one word, not the complete plane nose dive of depression, but the plane stalling as the incline taken upon it was way too high. This is not the tank running empty, but the locomotive scraping up the tracks of a steep hill. This is because of the overload of Fi incline toward perfection upon the Te engine of willpower. There is a point at the top of the incline that looks similar to "Laziness" as the engine of will reaches a point where gravitation of fatigue weighs on. The drop down seems similar to "Depression" but the machine is kept pointing at the goal nose up because of the tilt of Fi reaching for goals instead of a dive down to self pity of depression. This stagnation is even unlike "Un-motivation" even as the spiral down and off the tracks seem sporadic but the derailing was never by miss of enough Fi passion to burn in the Te engine. No. "Stagnation" is a feat only capable of high willpower and passion meeting a deep realization of wrong and incapability. This freefall feeling has everything feeling out of control as dreams above fly higher and higher as your life blows past from under you only to hit the ground to do it all over again, but this time just a little bit longer, just a little bit higher, and you can laugh as you look down to see it for yourself.

"daddy? where did mommy go?" "well, she said she was going to buy cigarettes." "wasn't that days ago?" "yes, my son." "will she ever come back?" "of course she will come back, she has always come back before." "when will it be?" "well, my son... nobody knows. nobody knows..."

Having all the energy to play video games but slump whenever responsibilities have to be faced. Giving excuses like, "I need stimulation".

I call it going into hermit mode.

You talk my language, It's exactly what I felt today. I just did the minimum. I surely needed to recharge my Te, I was just tired mentally, emotionally, and maybe physically too. This snow moon have really an influence. Cool t-shirt ^^.

I just use the French term, "J'ai ennui." Not boredom, not fatigue, not depression, just a sort of listlessness. The best English term I can think of is 'caught in the doldrums' or 'no wind in my sails'.

Funny how when you've said "the Baby Si will be playing games all night (...)" It just clicked. I understood the whole video even without reaching the end. - A fellow INTJ

Infj here. In my life, this mood is called procrastination 🤣 and in it, you get sh*t done only by sheer willpower and mainly by the power of habits. Maybe others would call it a fatigue. Tiredness. Feeling unmotivated. Not depressed, just a mind not fully present. I dont know how to change it, it is usually external factors that get me out of it.

I still haven't seen someone put into words this "feeling" that I experience from time to time as an INTJ woman in such a smart, theoretical and logical way as you did in this video - thank you so much!!! I especially enjoyed your analogy with the family members and roles. Btw I'm subscribing now to your channel, hope you keep up with the great content :)

Lackluster. Weary. But no word actually fits. You did a good job of illustrating it. Thank you.

Thank you man. This is how I live for a past 3 years and I'm so fkin tired of it. I lost my loved one because of it and loosing my job now... I'm so glad that I found your channel. It helps me understand myself better. Thank you.

Thank you for making this video. I can finally get my family to understand why I just have THOSE days. It clashes a lot with my ISTJ dad and ESTJ mom since they want everything organized and every second even when I'm just not feeling it. I used to half-ass everything years ago but then I paid the price and got my ass beaten for that so I just force myself to do everything with great quality which just "demotivates" me more and prolongs the autopilot mode. It was especially worse around the lockdown period years ago because I just wasn't feeling it, man. The unfamiliarity brought upon me by the sudden change to online classes along with the expectations to perform like I do in regular classes just made me shut down at times. I was forcing myself to come up with ways to deal efficiently with the new setup, teachers relentlessy setting more deadlines, classmates and group works taking away my free time, my xSTJ parents wanting me to be organized and constantly bringing me out of my head (where I retreat to when I am stressed) which violated my dominant Ni. God, this whole video stressed me out. I'm gonna go watch something relaxing.

Boy you hit the mail on the head! It’s alot harder to deal with when your family naturally expects you to handle everything anyway…I usually hit this point in July after a very busy year….I run 3 companies one of which is tax preparation. That’s when I want to go camping by myself in the middle of the woods for min 4 days. No people no kids no husband, I am talking no people at all. It’s hard when your family don’t get it! They are so used to us handling everything. Nice job of explaining it in a relatable way.😁👍

I always just referred to it as feeling "heavy" sometimes it’s fine to push through if I push through the "heavy" feeling to often i get burned out so sometimes I push through when needed other times I don’t it’s a fine line and if I ride it to far I might end up setting myself back some then if I decided to move slower and steadier

Absolutely love this video! I've actually been going through a "mama's out" phase myself after pouring weeks into trying to get some gear in a game I was playing, and was raid leading for my group one night. Because I'd been so HI-KEY focused on my main goal everything else felt like a distraction for some reason to the point where even some of my raid mates thought I was upset or just not having fun that night. Fast forward to the task being done, and I've been feeling like I'm forcing myself when it comes to taking on the next challenge, which is going to be easier overall based on prior achievements and gear, and I couldn't figure out why. This feeling is pretty much it in a nut shell. As soon as you started describing it, it was like a lightbulb came on and that "EUREKA" moment just lit up. I just need to let mama enjoy her vacation from focused goals and when she's ready to tackle things again, it will all work out. 😂

As an INFP-T single mom of 5, I know what it's like to want and need the mental vacation/break. I Retook the test. I feel so much better.

I'm trying to think how I would describe that "mood" but it is multi faceted. 1. I'm out of charge and can't find silence or a private corner to recharge. If my social life gets pushed to a place where I can't avoid being around people and they keep taking my energy until I "collapse," that mood comes out. And, by collapse I mean, I still function, but I'm just existing and appear unmotivated. Those closest to me will get the worst of me as that's when I might snap, or a super dark humor comes out that hurts people. 2. I'm waiting for something and things feel out of my control. I seem to hate the unknown since my brain is constantly shifting data around to find the most efficient path to my goals. When someone or something gets in between and breaks that process or brings uncertainty, my world collapses. Now I'm "unmotivated" for a different reason. 3. When a project or a relationship gets stagnant (I guess this is almost like the 2nd one), this time it's the unknowns combined with questioning whether the path I'm walking on is going to be fulfilling or am I wasting my time. 4. Financial worries. I usually have multiple years of financial safety so that I can do what I want, and the second that feels a bit out of control, first panic hits, then I deviate from my main goals to create stream of income to feel retired so that I can go back to my goals. If the new stream of income takes too long to create or hardship hits, then that mood comes out again. I'm really not sure if those are all different feelings or the exact same one. Hard to tell, but it's a "depression" loop that lasts no time and isn't really serious, it's almost where we want to be at that moment. If I outwardly expressed it every time, people would think I'm bipolar or something. I get over them quite fast. Usually.

This was actually a phenomenally helpful video! Thank You Jon!!

Woah, this is probably the best explanation I've ever heard to explain this long rut im in. The analogy made complete sense. Thank you Jon 🙏.

🤣 Excellently and most humorously described Jon......... I call that mood 'lights out' or 'mindlessness' within my inner circles....Or 'Introspecting' within my professional and outer circles. I have improved on literally being able to schedule when I would allow it to happen and how long it will be allowed to persist. As opposed to it happening in flustered manners that would completely interrupt the flow of my life in negative ways. Now, when I would inform those close to me that I am having 'a mindless day' or weekend or week, they respect my time and space; and I am grateful! During those mindless periods, I am able to allow 'Papa Ni' to do what he is suppose to be doing, in powerful, healthy, productive, and (focused) meaningful manners. So when I come out of that period, I come out with clear instructions from Papa as to what, when, how, where..... for what is NEXT in my project(s)! So now Papa serves me beautifully, and works harmoniously with Mama; they then both (Papa and Mama that is) now enjoy long visits from Auntie, and playfully keeps baby in 'joyous order'.

It is better to do nothing than to do something wasteful. As long as we cannot really define whether it is wasteful, it is better not to do it.

Great video! Very informative and certainly very insightful as to how the mind of the INTJ (our sister MBTI type) works. 💡

Mama goes out a lot with me. Esp after finishing my need-to-do's and accomplishing goals. As a result, I tend to set some ever so often coz when she goes out, it's for months on end. I don't mind her going out, just not for the next 5yrs as I build my empire. I need to rest well when I'm wealthy... 😇🤩

Honestly I’m very grateful I found this channel. Really helps me to understand how my self operate. I’m binging all these videos!

holy crap you are the first person to ever describe how I perceive my brain works! And I have totally experienced what you describe, your on bare minimum auto pilot

It's easiest to understand stories, thanks!

It's what I needed to hear Jon. I walked out on 140k a year at the beginning of 2021 because I was going H.A.M. with momma for 15 years straight. I called this my "f&@* it, f$%× you, f_÷& off" stage. Exactly how you explained. Not depressed or lazy just kind of existing.

Malaise is probably the best word for it. It's a low level depression, not crippling, but not happy or motivated.

The most on-point explanation I've ever heard about this phase.

That's a very concise way for your audience who are not typology savvy to understand this abstract topic .

This is my drained batteries/recharge mode. Never worried about it, because it's just regrouping not stalling, which is a huge difference. I usually put a timer on it, and know exactly for how long I allow it.

Yeah the "I've done enough for today" feeling

Going through it currently, I can definitely relate, thanks.

Never have someone describes my situation so explicitly. Hahahaa this is so accurate

thanks for explaining IT! there are times where I am just "lazy or tired" and yes, I am just going with the flow.

Crappy weather sends mama out for me. Soon as the sun comes out and it's no longer bitterly cold, she comes runnin' back. Great synopsis there Jon, thank you.

Jah bless, finally I understand my procrastination. This also can explain Se grip and some intjs have an addiction period because papa does anything that baby Se wants and there is no mama to put common sense. I am in that mama's out almost all my life because Ni can't really work well, my parents didn't let me do anything so baby Se was going nuts and then auntie Fi was yelling always about the situation

Loved it, great video

This is an amazing video that actually does a really good job of explaining things

Brilliant✨ genius explanation here

Moma's Out - - On a cruise, Girls weekend bender (again), Doing whatever! ... I spent the last several weekends EXACTLY as described 5:36 - 6:47 ... and LOVED IT.

I use mine as an autopilot feature when I need a break from fully engaging in reality.

This video is just great and very helpful👏🏻👏🏻💙

Lol..i love u jon!!! U hit it every..single..time.. i call this mood "£uc% it!!"..its that mood where i just throw my hands up, roll my eyes and pull out the video games 😒😞 it is a state of fully functional "tiredness" where a part of me has truly and unapologetically "stepped out"😧

The word I use is "melancholy" when the mood strikes...I know what you are trying to explain...I tended to just think it was the NiFi loop but after watching this video, maybe not.

the mood is : empty+lonely+cold

Ugh I'm SOOO GLAD I FOUND UR CHANNEL I've been in this mama's out phase for a long time coz 1: i didn't knew i was an intj 2: i didn't knew about ur channel 3: not like i didn't analyze my life but i just didn't knew the coz so forced myself to accept that I'm ABNORMAL However, THIS IS THE BEST WAY (kinda abstract ngl) BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE KNOWS ME BETTER THAN MYSELF (well never met someone "not so normal like me") but I'm glad to know I'll study deeper.. My momma went for like an year (the child mode completely) and the next year was partially dad and aunty involving like the zombie like i wasn't out completely but it wasn't a 100%. I'm getting to know myself better. I'm sure mama will be back someday. For now I'm doing the bare minimum i can until mama returns.

The word I'd use is ennui

This happens to me fairly often. It’s usually when I’m drained from some emotional conflict. Or, having some type of drama with another person. I can have a ton of energy and if something emotional happens… my energy just drops. I need alone time and it’s hard to accomplish anything.

IDK but for me, Aunty Fi starts to worry alot when Te goes away for a while. Fi starts yelling at Ni to get stuff together but Ni just starts feeling uncomfortable and tries to ignore Fi, and distracts by focusing on Se whims.

Love the shirt! 🙌🏻

This JUST happened to me. Thanks Sooooooo much for this! Glad I had something to send my partner to describe this..lol

I agree totally with you there and despite watching you explain it, I still wouldn't be able to explain it to others. So far I always considered my social battery to be empty and needs recharging with "not caring" about things for a while. And sometimes I paradoxically feel more social in these times because I can simply go with the flow.

This makes perfect sense to me. But my momma extraverted thinking doesnt want to come back because she knows what she has to clean up.

Oh yeah….. this. Beautifully described

Thank you..this is so funny...and so true!

Completely TRUE, my opinion as INTJ.

Oh geez, Jon. You're right about INFJs. Sometimes it takes me forever to accomplish a task and I'm not depressed. I just know it's a time where I can get away with it. All those different "dimensions" in my head tell me I can. lol Ya know, I watch a lot of INFJ stuff. And they're excellent, don't get me wrong. However, your approach to teaching is significantly more appealing and comprehensive at the same time.

Oh man.. I am having kind of a slump and thought about how to describe it to a friend but I couldnt really express it. Maybe unmotivated or kinda depressed, but not really. I have been doing the bare minimum for uni, just to not fall behind although I should put in more effort. I mean, I want to *get* it, like everything behind the things the prof says. Which works great for getting a straight A. Hopefully, nobody is bothering me for like the next one or two weeks, so I can work through all the stuff by myself. Also, I binged a lot of your videos. Love your explanations as they are so relatable. Often, when I watch other creators, their take feels wrong. Also also, most comments are really a lot nicer and more relatable as well. :)

I can see these so clear in my INTJ’s friends ! Well, I am their MAMA I think you need an ENTJ in your life 😬😬😬

I believe the feeling you are referring to is basically a blank state of mind, I've had these "mood swings" from long to short periods of time and to describe it would be exactly the Ni-Fi loop alongside with the overwhelming fatigue + Pressure that we Intj's experience so on the outside it appears to be some sort of depression or just an unmotivated demeanour when actually it's where we're simply organizing out some of our thoughts while reciprocating those thoughts with contemplation of both our achievements and longterm-goals accordingly, the dynamics of which can range from burst of ideas and preconceived concepts to questions about one's selves existence as well as these seemingly never ending spirals of thoughts (so just imagine 7 epiphanies happening simultaneously whilst also being accompanied by primordial thoughts that create the confines of reality itself, at least for the user that is.) I believe I went through my first "Blank" somewhere around the age of 12 and it's just been a natural occurrence ever since. So in hindsight, it's basically just the Intj providing therapy for themselves.

I know what you're talking about, but I don't know if it's normal. Living on autopilot could be one of the depression faces. INFJ

This is perfection. I am currently experiencing a Te on vacation. I'm not sad, I'm just not prioritizing normally. I also think it's my adderall and zoloft operating like an angel and devil on my shoulder. "You should clean your whole apartment and stop doing the bare minimum".... "You should try to relax and be happy with what you have so go lay down". xD

Well described, a method to bring mama back is a project and when you try your best to get something done that you need which isn't what your desire nor a plan but a bigger thing that you need in order to live and not get your independence compromised and you start searching for it and try to get it done It isn't the process actually, it's the hope of it getting done and the feeling of how it will turnout when it's done which leads to the baby getting what it wants of joy that the hope and finishing it hold.

I learnt feelings through inside out.. love this I notice when I'm a little nihilistic about society , I can't see I'm reflecting out wards through the world , intjs think I'm depressed, But, I don't talk about sad events thats personal u guys do..I don't know why u see I'm depressed when I clarify society of today..yet you guys can tell a sad event that's happened to u and u don't see yr emotions ..its like holy f^&k I see this sadness but u dont

As an INFP, my "mama" and "papa" never leaves, instead, I'm just waiting for "auntie" to visit and takes care of the mess, before leaving again lmao

Thankyou u made this video

As an INTJ, I have no idea what you're talking about. Seriously. I've gone through depressive episodes when I don't do anything. I've gone though burnout when all I want to do is retreat from the world and get lost in video games because I can't cope with reality at the moment. I had a brief period of utter and complete apathy in college when I was unmotivated to do anything, not even entertaining myself, because it all seemed so pointless. I've been assigned work I hate and half-assed it because I hated it that much. But that isn't mea following my plan. I've been tired of people and fighting and just left because whatever it was wasn't worth the fight with those people. I've never sat around and half-assed my own plan. If I have a plan, I love my plan and take joy in executing it, and the hardest thing is waiting as all the pieces come together. I am completely confused by your description. Seriously, Mom and Dad have an insanely codependent relationship. She never leaves.

This mood literally defines the "lazy" part of me as a scholar. I am a scholar who struggles to stay motivated when it comes to the Type A nonesense I have to go through to achieve a goal.

Loved your analogy ... that made so much sense to me ... I think my Mama has been missing for years ... things are still kicking over but still, it is not the same. I would so much like to know if there are any tips on bringing Mama back ... Aunty is asking 🤔😉 ... but you don't 😭 ... oh well maybe being aware that Mama is gone, maybe that awareness will trigger something 🤔🤔

Jah bless, my brother infj only works towards something that is emotionally deep in him or because he wants social connections but yeah poor him as an Intj I literally started to learn robotics and automation to forget day to day task

Currently going through this phase now. It’s been weeks. I’m taking on too many projects and because I know I’m capable of completing all of them I continue to try and push myself to do all of them at once which in turn has put me at a stand still I won’t pull the trigger on any of my projects. It’s usually 1 hiccup in my multiple plans that makes mama leave the house. Now I’m on RU-vid searching Mbti videos… I count this as self development and being productive though 🤷🏾‍♂️

This makes so much sense. I know everything I should be doing and the projects I need to finish, but I get so tired of having to figure everything out all the time I don’t want to try too hard to do anything . My brain is tired.

If I’m understanding correctly, then ENFPs may have this too. I call it autopilot amusement. Muse means to think, and so amuse means to not think(at least not much). So Te is out, Fi is napping, Ne is hiding in his cave processing stuff, and Si is like that crazy cat that freaks out at nothing and runs off. So you’re operating on autopilot: allowing your mind to drift wherever the winds over the sea of ideas takes you…, even letting your emotions flow away from you, and just accepting the pros and cons of the experience.

INFJ - the same. But literally *Always*. (no Te) It's horrifying, why do I exist... (Edit: You actually said it at the end of the video. I feel heard.)

it's so true, Mama's usually out for months for me before she comes back and whenever it happens i become so aptetic towards life, eat, sleep, work, sleep, read novels, sleep repeat. it's pretty surprising that you can accurately describe this patterns, although i never fully trusted MB types but i gotta trust the patterns. the patterns don't lie!

On you, on me, Ennui.

It makes so much sense now 😂 My brain usually runs 100mile/hr, and at some point I feel like my brain is not carrying on, like the engine is idling. I used to say I’m in the unproductive mode and feel guilty about it after.

Having things to do and no motivation to do them. It is an INTJ thing, but I also have ADHD. The two are difficult to separate unless I have just taken my Adderall and I still have a despondent outlook. That is the thing you are talking about. I don't get that way very often, and my mood can change in a split second.

There's a song that I can't stop singing since listening to this vid: Mama by Spice girls. It's actually fitting to Jon's analogy She used to be my only enemy and never let to me be free Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be Every other day, I crossed the line, I didn't mean to be so bad I never thought you would become the friend I never had Back then, I didn't know why Why you were misunderstood So now, I see through your eyes All that you did was love Mama, I love you Mama, I care Mama, I love you Mama, my friend (you're my friend) I didn't want to hear it then, but I'm not ashamed to say it now Every little thing you said and did was right for me I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be Never had a sense of my responsibility Back then, I didn't know why Why you were misunderstood So now, I see through your eyes All that you did was love Mama, I love you Mama, I care Mama, I love you Mama, my friend (you're my friend) You're my friend But now, I'm sure I know why (I know why) Why you were misunderstood So now, I see through your eyes All I can give you is love (all I can give you is love) Mama, I love you Mama, I care Mama, I love you Mama, my friend Mama, I love you Mama, I care Mama, I love you Mama, my friend Oh, oh-oh (you're my friend) Mama (you're my friend) Whoa, oh-oh Mama, my love Oh, oh-oh, Mama, I love you (me loving you, you loving me) Mama, I care (a love that's true, and guaranteed) Whoa, oh-oh, Mama, I love you (me loving you, me loving you) (You loving me, you loving me) Mama, my friend (a love that's true, a love that's true) (And guaranteed, so true) Mama, I love you (me loving you, me loving you) (You loving me, you loving me) Mama, I care (a love that's true, a love that's true) (And guaranteed, so true) Mama, I love you (me loving you, me loving you) (You loving me, you loving me) Mama, I care (a love that's true, a love that's true) (And guaranteed, so true) Mama, I love you (me loving you, me loving you) (You loving me, you loving me) Mama, I care (a love that's true, a love that's true), oh, oh, oh (And guaranteed, so true) Mama, I love you (me loving you, me loving you) (You loving me, you loving me) Mama, I care (a love that's true, a love that's true) (It's so true)

Wow, yes.

I relate to this, though in this extended period of stress and unhappiness I do experience some of that tiredness where I don't want to do anything, probably due to overstimulation and not getting enough sleep. Last week was especially like that for me.

Woww! I was never able to explain that to my psychologist in a way she could understand!! I was diagnosed with distimia, but mama's out makes more sense.

The way i've described this to people is it's a feeling of being dead inside.

I believe a good way to get this Te back is to actually just... give in. Give in to "Mama's out" for a day. Just one day, no more but no less. Lie around on your bed watching RU-vid, or just anything that lets you not worry. In the grand scheme of things, one day doing absolutely nothing worthwhile is not going to hurt that much. Except, of course, if you have a very demanding job or something, then there's no way than to wait for Te to come back, but one Saturday or Sunday off doing nothing can really help. Saying this as an INTJ who came back from one day off doing assignments with twice the willpower, no overdue homework (rare, in my grade) and full marks across the board... after a week of failing tests and being barely on time for classes.

Borrowing from Sci-Fi "Unpowered/inertial flight". That's how I would describe it: lacking the confident energy that would be "powered flight".

I just spent my whole Saturday like this hahaha. Thought it was burnout.

I seem to go into a period of auto-pilot or cruise control, where I’m consciously doing nothing because I can’t muster the energy to do something. And then fi kicks in and makes me feel guilty for it. I’ve come to find out that fixating on the thing you need to get done in your head when in autopilot can help make you want to eagerly go and do it, provided that it really interests you. If it’s taking out the trash or something then good luck fighting pests when they inevitably come. 😂
