Doing things just to do them

In high school I made a goal to read books everyday and so most nights right before I fell asleep I would lean over, pick up the book I was working on and read a sentence or two. I wouldn’t pay attention to what I was reading, just read it while thinking about how much I’d rather be in bed.

This is sort of like fake it to make it except you fake faking it to not make making it.

Useless.
