I mean its so much better for the brain to be active working doing useful things stimulating your brain or working out, we all have a reward system and everytime we finish a task we feel a sense of accomplishment but everytime you should be doing something that you know will feel good in the end you just get this urge of doing nothing today and just relaxing,
shouldnt our brain be chasing this sense of accomplishment? Where does this feeling come from

I honestly think it’s mostly just whatever you’ve conditioned yourself for…
When I had more free time I definitely preferred to just relax and be lazy. These days I spend 60-70 hours a week in the office with a consulting job on top of it, and in the free time I do have I feel like I have to cram something useful in to every minute. Like I genuinely can’t enjoy just sitting down and watching a movie unless I come up with at least *something* to do while I’m watching it…
So I think it’s just a matter of whatever your current situation has programmed your brain to do.
