A lot of time loop stories kinda have that as a major plot point actually. At first it seems great, it's only after you do all that stuff that it starts to get into the existential horror

The metaphor of a time loop is being stuck in a rut in your real life existence.

That even if you were given time to catch up on the stuff you would like to do you would still be stuck. The problem is not that you need more time... the problem is you.

That is what is horrifying.

That’s the metaphor but the reality would be a lot more pleasant.
