Laziness can be optimal

If one has the motivation to act only on very good deals.

The optimality stems from not spending energy/time on average stuff.

It assumes very uneven distribution of deals. That one is not lazy when a good deal comes by.

(It also depends on whether resting gives energy or takes. Whether one explores actively or not. and other considerations)

good and bad of procrastination

Great essay.

But I hate the approach said there.
concentrate on the "important" things in life.
What is important?
"what will be in your eulogy"

But this is unaccepted as a criterion for life.
It is only if your goal in life is your story. Life is about moments in my view. Storeis are trash.

I must admit that I spend some tiem and psychological energy on my dreams whihc relate somehow to story stuff. I am human, after all.
