Active and Passive Entertainment. in Whey and Sonic Screwdrivers.

I like balance.

At times, I seem to favor way too much active entertainment, or too much passive entertainment. Sometimes I’ll be so into a game like Everquest2 that I will have to specifically schedule some time at the end of the night to do something passive like watch an episode of The Wonder Years. Other times, I’ll find myself just mindlessly watching too much netflix. I’ll feel oddly restless and unable to fully relax because my mind wants something to do. If I’m smart, I deliberately balance both. I say deliberately, because left to chance, I won’t always optimize my time for MAXIMUM ENJOYMENT.

Huh, thought I had more to elaborate on this topic. It’s only one part of balancing various facets of life, but it’s important. Scheduling FunTime seems odd, but it’s better than losing enjoyment in something you’re really into due to overkill.
