Anthony Bourdain once said "There's a guy in my head, and all he wants to do is lay in bed all day long, smoke pot, and watch old movies and cartoons. My life is a series of strategems, to avoid, and outwit that guy". Who is "that guy" for you, and what do you do to avoid him?

I don't really avoid him. I use him as motivation to get through the harder parts of life like working and chores.

If I do xyz that I don't want to do, I can give in to 'that guy' for a bit. Seems to work for me but it's a struggle to keep going every day so I'm always trying to find ways to motivate myself to keep moving forward. I really love pot and being lazy so using that as incentive to do things I don't really enjoy as much has worked wonders to make life less miserable.
