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://
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
not taking on additional work or tasks. not working ahead. not having to be productive. a strange break in my schedule has given me a lot of free-time this week, and i have grown to value being bored sometimes more than always having to conquer some aspect of my life. yeah yeah everything is good in moderation but if i want to watch a 50 part tiktok series of some woman talking about her husband instead of doing a project 2 weeks early let me!!!!
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
im about to make some moves in silence again just letting yall know im about to be moving silently and to clarify what i mean by that is that i am giving you guys a heads up that i am about to make big moves but with little to no sound
