For me it’s like: bed > desk > couch > bed. Shower is optional 
Honestly I don’t see any other job I could do that isn’t like this. I’m good with numbers and logic, so I’m just glued to the screen. No contact with physical World. I even avoid going to the office as it ruins my productivity.
I know how you feel, but I can’t stop thinking that there’s more to it than that. I think whatever your hourly rate is, sometimes it helps to just take a moment sometimes to do nothing. Or vacuum the house (a friend finds it very meditative). And enjoy the little moments.
yeah, I was also in this kind of ‘Naval Ravikant’ mindset until some time ago, then I started to lean a bit more towards the ERE approach of building skills (what am I going to do once fired, just remove the ‘desk’ element from the ‘bed > desk > couch > bed’ equation ? 
)
This saying is so wrong in so many ways. First, the person in Ferrari might be more miserable than the person on a crappy bike; second, I’m personally happier with my bike and a big sum invested than with a Ferrari; third, on a more general level, money is obviously important for happiness to a point - at a certain point, there’s no amount of Ferraris that will make us happier.
What is that? Naval Ravikant I mean.
For me the saying translation is this:
“At same level of everything else in life (spiritual, emotional, social, etc.) it is better to have more money than less”.
or
“If you are a (put profession here) it is better to earn 100 CHF per hour than 50 CHF.”
It doesn’t have to be taken literally.
By the way, on topic of work I just stumbled upon a great discussion on Hacker News:
LOL. That’s a bit insane I think.
Could someone please gift me a Ferrari so I can sell it, get a bike (for my son, I like walking), and put the rest of the cash in the stock market?
Few more thoughts on this TED talk:
Fourth:
You realise you spend at least a hundred what the bike did - and yet feel that you aren’t much happier.
In both cases you’re depressed and then your bank account hardly matters
I try to focus on only a few things at the time, for a limited amount of time (say a season) to try and boot-strap them into habits.
Some things just take a long time, meditation is one of them. I believe one needs to take at least one multiple days-long meditation retreat to get the first hang of it, otherwise there’s no way to make it a habit simply because, by trying a bit here and there, it’s close to impossible to get to the “ha-ha” moment when one finally, after a lot of struggle, makes it to be able to control the mind for a few minutes in a row. That said, I never managed to get into the habit of doing it regularly myself, will pick it up again at some point.
Oh yes, that’s definitely good tip as I’m terrible at multi-tasking. I have a single thread brain and I can’t process multiple things in the same time. Although for me the difficulty is that even when I do something for some time, then something occurs - I get sick, I go for vacation, I’m in a lockdown - and after that event it takes me few months to get back on track. I’m terrible at this and I really don’t know how to protect myself from this instability.
The human brain is inherently bad at multi-tasking, unless you made something so habitual that it’s taken care by the “fast”, autonomous part of the brain.
I can totally relate to your feeling of falling out of the newly built “habit” once I had been forced out of the routine for a couple weeks. I think this will always happen and this is where one needs will-power to get back on track, until the habit is properly established.
I would just advice to never say/write things like “I am terrible at X”. Look back and you’ll see quite a few things that you thought you were “terrible” at before putting some effort in and becoming proficient.
I would go even further, our brain isnot able to do multitasking. When you are doing two things that need your attention, what you are actually doing is “switchtasking”, meaning that you switch back and forth between the tasks very quickly. Which is really bad for your attention and leads to lower productivity.
I can recommend the book “Deep Work” by Cal Newport for some more insights about focus, attention etc.
Your bank account certainly does. In one case you can afford paying a good psychotherapist, have free time to decompress from chronic stress (causes most mental health problems) and money to buy good food, spend time outdoors on the sun, nature, etc. (all factors that alleviate depression).
And in the other you have to go to the social security doctor and guzzle psychiatric pills down and ride your bike again to your 9 to 5 stressful job while living in a noisy building because it is the only appartment you can afford. All very conductive to heal from depression, sure.
I´ll take the Ferrari, thanks 
Crappy apartment in the city center? Who needs that? In my opinion, you don’t need a Ferrari to look after your mental health. Possessing a Ferrari can in fact contribute to depression fueled by a hedonist treadmill, status anxiety, and stress over something happening to your precious car.
Sure, my point is that you can (to an extent) reverse this - feeling rich and miserable is worse than being not-so-wealthy and happy.
