I detest laziness. There's only so much 'Netflix and Chill' a person can do, and after lazing around, I actually feel drained, rather than energized. You would think that laziness gives you energy, but it saps it instead. I guess this is because we're all human in the end, wired to be productive and working on at least one problem.

I think the author and you might have different understandings of "lazy". If I pursue a hobby for an afternoon with no financial upside (say, building model kits or painting) I might consider that a "lazy Sunday".

I was productive, insofar as I pursued an interest, but I was not productive in the "producing salable work".

I think there's a universe where lazy can mean different things for different people. For some that's lying on the couch, others might read or write or pursue art and music.

That I would definitely not call a lazy Sunday...

YES. I experience the same depletion of energy during “rest”. In fact, lots of down time without productivity (doesn’t have to be work!) leads me to depression. Going back to school and taking a single class has made me feel productive and filled me with pride.. with thought it’s not too impressive. Watching Netflix for hours, or browsing my phone, leads me to a bad outlook of myself and the world.
