In reality phase move around pushing buttons until you feel tired. You don’t need to push them all, just as much as you want.
When you return home, you have to watch TV to reduce your insatisfaction and learn what’s happiness. This takes you to your happy place.
In your happy place, you don’t need to jump (your work it’s to jump! why would you jump in your happy place?) Just run around getting as much happiness you can, until you run out of money.
As you age, your work will be harder and more stressful.
Happiness will become more expensive, you’ll have to work more.
