I think it is good to do nothing every once in a while.Especially if you have been busy. I think it helps both physically and mentally.Especially if you have got the right person to nothing with.

@amadeo Sometimes all you need to do is relax with the person who means the most to you, that’s what I did today.

I will probably run errands, collect up materials needed to do a project. I like the lazy days of just laying around reading, sometimes we need these days.

I sometimes do nothing because I don't know how to start, I feel lack of motivation or lack of ability, for example, assignments in the subject operating systems, that I learn now. It is the 4th time I repeat that course and I can't even start doing the first assignment, I don't know how to start. I'm afraid of all of the technical details I will have to figure out, the lack of ability to check what happens and how to track it... That is why I stayed in bed 15 hours 2 days ago. I just didn't want to do anything with myself. If being lazy comes from this reasons, than, it brings consequences that I don't want, like a failure. If I feel motivation to do something, than I will not be lazy and I will like doing what I want. I went to dance Israeli Folk Dances 15 hours ago, for 4 hours. That was fun, I participated in almost all of the dances, and I had a lot of fun. Still, it required some money, and I didn't study, that will also has a consequence that I don't want, but, at least I felt good.

@amadeo I recorded about 30 videos of israeli folk dances (excluding some line dances that are maybe invented by israelis but, maybe those are not exactly folk dance). Look for my channel "hamoog" in youtube. I don't dance there because I recorded those. I hope you will like it.

@amadeo Yes and my dentist accepts it, but the only endodontist root canal specialist that takes my insurance was 100 miles north and I had an appointment locally so I went ahead and had it done. No pain now except for my credit card.
