Passive-consumption-as-recovery anti-pattern: treating
Passive-consumption-as-recovery anti-pattern: treating passive activities like scrolling social media or watching television as genuine recovery, when they provide stimulation without the restoration that active rest, sleep, and nature exposure deliver
Why This Is an Anti-Pattern
Inverts willpower-as-depleting-battery (Willpower-as-depleting-battery pattern: the structural). Violates Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (attention needs restoration). Recurs in doomscrolling, binge watching, digital pseudo-rest.
