That ia true, and i don’t really think of it as a waste. But I have guilt that I always MUST BE DOING SOMETHING

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time

Yeah it might be substituting one cost for another. But I thought the Fresnel lenses were pretty cheap. No idea of that would work or be feasible.

There’s still a distinction between enjoying it in the particular moment versus enjoying the entire sum of all the moments, looking back.
In food testing there are different preferences for how much someone enjoys a single bite of something versus enjoying an entire serving of that same thing. So even if someone prefers a sip of Pepsi over Coca Cola, they may nevertheless prefer an entire can of Coke over Pepsi. Same with all sorts of other consumer preferences.
With online activity, there’s a lot of stuff out there that is the equivalent of digital junk food, where you may enjoy a specific moment but feel shitty about spending an entire day on those individual moments. The payoff that can come from some of the long term patience can sometimes be more satisfying than an endless stream of instant gratification.
