I've heard variations on this for years, but here is where I found this specific version: https://jessicadavidson.co.uk/2016/03/04/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-enlightened/

A Buddhist monk approached his teacher and asked the Zen Master, “If I meditate very diligently, how long will it take for me to become enlightened?”

The Master thought for a moment, and then replied, “Ten years.”

The student then said, “But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast. How long then?”

The Master replied, “Well, then it will take twenty years.”

“But if I really, really work at it. How long then?” persisted the student.

“Thirty years,” said the Master.

“But I don’t understand,” said the disappointed student. “Each time I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?”

The Master replied, “When you have one eye on the goal, you can only have one eye on the path.”

I work at home. Ya, I can't get away. Since covid. The years are burning.

Covid proved that if given a year most of us won't get our shit together.

I just stayed at home and got drunk with my girlfriend. It was a pretty great year

It's called a sabbatical.

2018 was the greatest year of my life. I learnt spanish, got regular exercise, and just really lived.

Cross stitch/knitting are both good for that.

You’re still sitting on your couch zoning out watching TV, but you do feel mildly productive.

except then i feel like i'm not knitting fast enough, and i stress out over making something useful

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Maybe you should pour some hard work into something completely useless then?

I'm painting, hard to master, totally useless for my level.

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Knitter here. I’m literally making clothes! Yes a sweater takes months but you know… also good for meetings.
