i feel like this past week being back at uni and being like actually busy during the day again has given me sort of less time to be casually alone with my thoughts instead of it all just piling up to when im about to sleep
i thought over winter break i might have taken three steps back and stopped being a funtional human because i all but hibernated through december and january, but finally having class and work again feels so good. something about having things in my schedule again has just lit up the neurons in my brain again and i'm finally being a little more productive and ticking tasks off my to-do list :D
back when i basically was only doing things on weekends, i think it subconsciously made me feel likeβ¦ weekdays are ONLY work and weekends are only fun. so then the majority of my week was Work Days. which is technically true still but planning things on weeknights (both solo stuff like a class or self-care thing, and social things) make me feel like iβm reclaiming the free time i do have on my weekdays lol. rather than just going home and blanking out. my job is stressful so i def do need days to just do that but since i started intentionally making plans throughout the week instead of just fri-sun it has made a difference for feeling like my life is less absorbed by my job
i think it's normal. it's kind of part of life and the system we live in, where work takes up our whole week.
it's hard to find people who wanna break out of the routine://
