after buying a new ikea wardrobe in december, it's been half assembled and surrounded by half a dozen boxes of clothes for most of this year! now im finally assembling it and it feels fantastic.
it's just a stupid wardrobe, but this little event feels so significant. being productive rocks! i guess this is like a dopamine detox thing..
my desk has been a gotten a bit chaotic over the last few months and yesterday i finally cleared it all off, organized cables, etc kinda crazy how much better i feel
i feel like a massive hypocrite writing this, but im gonna be honest..
the past year i've been constantly listening to/watching youtube videos and ig reels in order to fill the silence. just loads and loads of useless information and empty talks.
last night i realized that doing so has been keeping me from thinking about stuff, listening to music and in general, being productive. i was filling my head with useless noise so i wouldn't think. it ended up being a comfortable bubble of bullshit that was hard to break out of. today i stopped the video, grabbed my notes of things i want to DO and played some music in the background. felt much better. i might relapse— i have many times, but im tired of being a vertically scrolling thumb (again).
i used to ride my bicycle/take public transport all the time, but walking is really good actually! it slows down the wildness of modern life, shows you small things you would otherwise drive past. its all around a good idea if you have time to spare of course. great for calming down, thinking, good for relieving stress, good for meeting new people
in a world of automatic AI translation and a lack of humanity in digital spaces, i find it refreshing to see evidence that text was indeed typed by a human - someone who makes mistakes and that's okay. i was just browsing a localized version of a website and noticed a word misspelled and for once i didn't feel annoyed, but happy
