I get this with games too. And shows. And end up just scrolling Lemmy instead of doing anything better with my time..

I am exactly the same; why are we like this?

two reasons:

because we're so drained by life that we don't even have the energy to put forward to doing an activity that we know will enjoy.
we're so used to having to scrounge together any free time we can get that we struggle to commit to something that takes any amount of time.

There is another reason: the guilty feeling that something more productive could be done within that time. Or in the wise words of Retro Bird on YouTube, "I don't deserve to Donkey Kong"
