I don’t have anything to look forward to in life except money entering my direct deposit every two weeks and back catalogs of podcasts. I don’t even want to listen to music anymore.

    Stop thinking of it in terms of “you must do this specific thing in a regimented way every day until I die”

    Maybe the issue here isn’t depression but perfectionism resulting in inaction?

    Just pump some weights.

    When I was depressed I watched YouTube in a kind of bored disengaged manner. I’m sure you having something like that too. Do that same thing but lifting something.

    OP said they liked listening to podcasts. It’s perfect for OP.

      i have a dumbell next to my desk, it does not become habitual.

      it doesn't matter if the standard is daily or a few times a week if you do two days on three months off
