"What makes you feel icky, irritated, annoyed or off-track if you don't do it enough?"
Showering. I'm not being flippant.
In general, "dealing with life". I am prone to depression, the clinical kind, the kind that causes you to stay in bed or browse web aimlessly all weekend. The kind that makes it seemingly impossible to do the things that need doing, like finishing projects, calling friends, or taking a shower.
I wonder if the many other prone to depression people have similar reaction as I to "life-hack", "feel-good", "aphoristic" blogs/articles/people like this one. The reaction you might imagine a poor person has listening to a top 1%er ponder "which of my seven houses do I not hate spending the summer in".
