you can just do things, you should do (good) things (duh), but should is bad, so ideally, you want to do things.

a potential reader remarks: “but I don’t want to do the things that I should do”

Whatever! There are things you do want to do. They’re called fun. Do those things. Much better than not doing any thing. The last thing you want is to punish yourself for doing things. Reward yourself more when they are closer to the things you should be doing, perhaps.
