Lol today in therapy I got told I need to let go of the expectation of this not happening.

I should get a desk wheel so I can spin it rather than wasting 2 hours trying to decide which of these ways I’ll choose to waste time rather than doing something useful or fulfilling.
I've always thought that I do better with a planned day. Recently, I thought about it, and I changed my perspective.
