I noticed that people that do stuff all the time. That they get into a mode of being where the more they do the more they want to do. Physical activity makes them want to do more physical activity.
In myself I am the opposite. I rather read or something else. When I was working on a math problem the other day I got lots of energy.
I suppose it has to do with dopamine. If I have a problem I cannot do it I get board maybe this happens in physical thing for people that when they cannot do the task they get tired. So only if it's sustainable do people either think or do physical activities.
Not knowing what to do physically or mentally you just stop. Otherwise you keep going. But from what I've seen it's the opposite where people prefer mental or physical.
What is it that keeps people going?
What makes it sustainable?
To me I can't think when doing physical things.
So something has to be different between them.
As an instance the harder the problem to solve the more mental energy you need. Where as in physical activity it's automatic what you do. You send all the energy into the body.
So in the mental you try not to move the body, and you might be moving the abstract objects instead. Moving the body means you're suppress something else in the mental. Because in the mental you don't have it all figured out you have to search internally for what needs to be next in the mental object arrangement. The body rather has to be in position with an external resource or it cannot get done what it needs to. Then it's faster.
Thinking fast and slow is a book about this but I haven't read it. However in thinking slow I conclude that you have to hold information in the mind by creating it yourself. It is not placed in front of you to be done right away. Often the goal isn't clear as in "just do it". You have to think about those things that don't exist yet not just moving things around in the right way.
So if you practice manipulating the external world you'd get good at not being tired. But if you think about things that don't exist yet you have to inhibit that part of yourself that goes on automatic.
I was thinking about this yesterday in relation to the economy. Both people exist. People need jobs where they do things and jobs where new things get made. I am not good at physical things, I am to slow. I think up new things all the time but I don't know what economic value that serves. I don't know because you need a degree to do some jobs like that so I am trying to go to school for it. Only if I can I am going to have to rent a room in my house to get money to pay for things I need to get to school. Like transportation. I don't have a car or drivers license.
A problem I see is that at school they expect you to memorize. That is to train a person to become automatic in some mental actions. I can't do certain types of mental actions. But you need those to move onto the next class. It makes things difficult if you have no use in the economy. But it's either physical or mental labor and I don't have a choice to do physical things anymore, too tired.
