In his diary entry from May 28, Kafka reflects on how time has passed without him noticing, revealing a sense of stagnation in his life. He wonders about his inability to take simple actions, such as writing, and admits to a lack of resolution or motivation to engage in fulfilling activities. His observations suggest a struggle with productivity and purpose.

Kafka illustrates his daily existence through various leisurely activities like rowing, riding, swimming, and sunbathing. However, these pursuits do not compensate for the absence of creative expression, hinting at an internal conflict between enjoyment and the desire to produce meaningful work.
