I feel more at peace with a consistent routine, more independence and more $. I prefer a quieter life and having fun on the weekends and that’s exactly what I get with my post-grad job.
no work no long commute just errands and housework <3 sometimes a solace in a busy busy week… i crave the solitude and peace that domesticity brings… in small doses of course :p
it has been a long long time since i have had a consistent living situation like i do now so being able to build regular activties into my life that i love has been giving me joy. i can feel myself creating discipline and deepening knowledge and care. there is a certain freedom in the routine
back when i basically was only doing things on weekends, i think it subconsciously made me feel like… 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 i’m 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
Saying things and not following through portrays you as someone that speaks words with no substance. Being intentional about what you say, and then following up with being intentional about your actions makes you a more confident person and makes you feel like you are really getting stuff done.
