Things we do to self-medicate, such as binge-watch television shows, mindlessly scroll, or consume drugs or too much alcohol. Activities that we don’t get paid for and are not enjoyable. Things we do purely for relaxation or restoration, such as taking naps or baths. These activities are likely soothing and nourishing and enjoyable (and thus worth our time), but they’re not technically things we do for fun, because they don’t typically generate playfulness, connection, or flow.
