Yes, absolutely.

I have begun to see the words, "I should ...." as a big, red warning sign. "I should" often means "I don't want to." If I waste time making myself do things I don't want to do, I end up grumpy and unmotivated. On the flip side, when I fill my days doing what I want to do, I feel much better *and* get things done.
