I know what it's like to see the sun shining outside and lose all motivation to work.

I know it's well-meaning, but whenever someone suggests that I work outside when I feel that way, I feel like they are missing the point. I don't want to be outdoors on my computer, I want to be outdoors experiencing and engaging with the world.

I get it, but at the same time, it's not your manager or even your job that is stopping you in the end. It's the fact that you need to work to support yourself.

You _can_ decide to just go outside instead of working, but then you're stuck with no money. Unless you end up making FU money, I see no way out of this conundrum.
