Agree
- Downtime is essential for mental health
- Constant meaning-making creates burnout
- Some of life is just maintenance and that's okay
- Pressure to be profound kills spontaneity
- Rest and boredom are meaningful in themselves
Disagree
- Mindfulness transforms ordinary moments into rich experiences
- Wasted time is wasted life
- Intentionality prevents regret and drift
- You can rest meaningfully with right mindset
- Most people need more purpose not less
