I want to have it all sorted out into a brilliant essay before posting, but if I go for that I'll never say anything at all. I'm never sure which direction I want to go with describing it, or how to make it clear how profound this little idea is for me...so I'm just going

Congratulations on this particular epiphany. I know of it and it's challenges first hand. And yes, it is obvious, but it's also not nearly "obvious" enough

You seem to be talking about bigger changes than I am (at least the immediate changes), but it still applies. Obviously I'm getting something out of sitting in front of the computer all day instead of taking a walk first, or whatever. Making sure that whatever's rewarding about that still happens or gets replaced with something else is a good thing to watch out for.
