Looking forward to new music

when there are lulls and I find myself just kind of coasting through life and going through the motions every day, I try to step back and remember that my favorite albums of the next year have not yet come out and I get to hear all new amazing music for the first time each week, sometimes even sooner, and it gives me something to be truly excited about

return to your comfort music

i go in and out of cycles of this. sort of in one right now! one thing that helps me sometimes is returning to music that i loved as a kid/comfort music in general. literally a go-back-to-basics sort of thing. i find when im not in the right mental state, i don’t get any joy out of finding new music. it starts to feel more like a job than anything else! so i return back to the music i know i love, even if it’s silly pop music from my teens :)

dry january but for new music

I guess we’re already almost done with it, but I’ve come to enjoy the lull of new releases that happens each January. I think in the effort of keeping up with new releases, we forget that each new thing we consume comes at the cost of consuming something else. each novel thing we devote our time and attention to comes at the cost of appreciating something that we already have. not that it’s bad to experience new things, but i’ve come to appreciate the invitation that january brings to invest time and energy into fostering a new fondness and appreciation for the music collection i’ve already amassed. in this time where i’m freed from the current of new music, I can experience new things by revisiting and reconsidering old things. maybe with the passage of time they’re no longer as familiar to me as I assumed, and I can now encounter them in new ways. anyway instead of getting stressed waiting for your most anticipated album of 2025 go and listen to something you were really into back in middle school and reconnect with it. there’s a newness to experiencing old things again but from a new perspective that I think this time of year is uniquely suited for.

Solving crosswords is sick!!

Writing unhinged-like in slack

Treat it like AIM. the rules of business are made up let’s make corporate hellscape a little fun at least. find out which colleagues can actually hang
