It's always the "it'll only take a moment" argument.
So this thing and keep your vegetables fresh longer. It's only 5 minutes work.
Do this every day to keep your house clean, only 15 minutes each day.
Do this little thing every day to improve your energy, it's 10 minutes every morning.
Want to lose weight? Just a 30 minute work out every day.
But all that s**t adds up, you know?
Suddenly it's an hour each day. And the "5 minutes" is bulls**t. They don't tell you it's 10 minutes preparing and 5 minute cleanup. Yeah, 30 minute work-out. But I've got to change into something else and I've got to shower afterwards.
And then you lose 2 hours a day. On top of all the other things you have to do. So when do you relax? When do you sit down and watch TV? Read a book? Take a bath?
And if doing that workout is relaxing to you? Awesome. But you're lucky, bc for a lot of people it isn't. And I'm tired of people telling me it is. I could manage that 30 minute work out, tbh. I could. But the changing outfit, the shower after, and/or the getting up earlier to do it. I can't do that. I just can't. Stop telling me it's "easy". It fu***ng isn't.

This post isn't about depression. it's executive functioning disorder. I know a lot of people with depression relate to this. Aparantly adhd and depression are frequently misdiagnosed as one another.
But this isn't a case of "just get up, you can do it. You'll feel better". I'm not feeling bad. I just can't time manage to pull it of successfully. Doesn't mean I don't try.
