Keeping us too busy to think is the goal of many of our daily tasks these days: pedantic paperwork (to prove before the fact that we are not criminals) and all that is necessary to eat three times a day (shopping, storing, cooking, cleaning up).
Both create fatties who can't do anything else anyway. Like many things, we are enslaved to tasks that harm us.

I've never been a big follower of the norm as you know so I tend to put life before any of those silly 'tasks' myself. Bare minimum on the 'task' front lol
I envy you then. I have so much paperwork to do, it's always hanging over my head. And I'm retired! Maybe it's a US thing, where you have to prove you are who you say you are just to take a walk in some of our parks.
I do bare minimum on the having-to-be-on-time front. I hate being late, and I hate hurrying, so I strictly limit events that I have to be on time for, such as classes, meetings, and other appointments. I
paperwork? To walk in the park? Where do you live? Nazi Germany?
Nazi York, where everything is illegal. I have heard it said that it is the hardest place in the world to buy crypto, and I can attest to that.
The park in the town I moved from required ID of residency in the town - proof that your taxes were funding the park. to get into town pools, I had to get special IDs for every member of the family. It seems I've just finished one tax return, or proof of income to reduce taxes, or report used to determine taxes, and another pops up in the mail. Bills, applications, renewals, court documents (my son died without a will). Constant paperwork, I feel harassed by it.
yeh its coz you live in a city. That was why I got out of London. Life was unbearable after 2008. I'd had enough. Tried living on a boat for a while still in London but even that got bad. It's better living somewhere without a clear address hahaha. The postman has to learn all our names round here. No house numbers or street names. No hassle.
I have moved to a very small town in NYS. It's so different here, as if covid were not even a thing for most of us. I love it. Those who live in my last town would not believe it, they think anyone with a brain did what they did, quarantining, isolating, spreading toxins on their hands every where they went, masking up even in their own homes. Not seeing their own grandchildren who lived two blocks away! shocking! I moved because I no longer felt safe there, living normally. I was afraid my car tires would be slashed for something I said on FB. Now they want me to forgive them hahahahahahaha.
It sounds like an inverted version of the old leper colonies doesn't it. Only which ones are the lepers lol.
Yeh I'm so glad I was here and not in London when this thing happened.
