I like the notion of this idea but 24 hours is ridiculous. It just reminds me of times of being so depressed that I didn’t want to do anything.

I feel like there’s a somewhat of a vilification of doing something for fun. Whether it’s video games, television, Reddit etc. We’re trained socially we need to be productive. We need to either be improving ourselves (mentally or physically) or making money.

I’d argue though that these “dopamine hits” aren’t a bad thing if you’re reasonably successful in the rest of your life. People deserve time to veg out.
