I fell asleep on the couch last night, stayed asleep on the couch till noon, went to my bed and spent the next five hours on TikTok until I got up to have a small meal and quick shower, only go back to bed again.
This kind of thing would usually make me feel horrible. But this time I allowed myself the rotting time. I havenโt done this sort of thing in years, and after a pretty stressful month it was nice to just be alone in my bed and waste a day. It was strangely restorative.

Iโm in a different time zone for the holidays which makes sleeping in for crazy long hours very easy. At first I had excuses; I was sick, I was recovering from jet lag, I was hungover. Now Iโm doing it because I can. I felt so guilty about it at first, for being judged by my in-laws, for wasting precious vacation time. Now Iโm just doing it on sheer hedonism. It clears my thoughts, soothes my muscles and sharpens my dreaming skills.

will my back hurt next day? absolutely. but something about falling asleep on the couch without brushing my teeth, washing my face, changing into my pajamas, feels SO liberating that I canโt help but having an amazing day afterwards?

I'm writing an essay and I've come up with three antidotes to overconsumption.
1. Consume critically. I don't care how many books you read last year - how does your favourite author use literary devices to tell their story? How does your favourite film director create a mood? Figure this out.
2. Create anything. And I really mean anything. Bake a cake, write an essay, knit a scarf. This is probably the best antidote to overconsumption because it preoccupies you, but it also helps develop some respect for what it takes to do the things that you consume.
3. Connect with people. It doesn't need to be that deep. DM your favourite content creator that you like their stuff. Comment on people's PI.FYI recs. If you enjoy consuming another person's content, letting them know is just a nice thing to do (and helps avoid parasocial relationships).

Last Monday I took a day off work (paid!) to go to the cinema with my friend and watch three films all in one go - A Complete Unknown, Babygirl and Nosferatu. We went out for coffees and dinner between films, but it was fun to make an outing of it while catching up on the newest films. Try and space out the screenings strategically so you donโt end up spending 12 hours out and about like we did.

They feel like a sweet treat. I also hate swallowing pills, so it's this or nothing.
