Conveniences, automation, safety plans, etc. Everyone loves winging it and having piles of chores, but then they complain about life being hard, but then they don't change anything

It's fun having peace of mind though. It's fun being able to binge movies without suddenly realizing you forgot something important. It's fun being able to nap without waking up in a cold sweat because you forgot to take out trash for the tenth week in a row. It's fun being able to forget the time and get immersed in hobbies.

Oh, I completely get it. It's a battle of delayed gratification versus instant gratification. I can take care of business now and have stress-free fun later, or I can have fun now and let future-me deal with the consequences.

Or you can have fun now and have no consequences.
