Jun. 26th, 2022 10:35 amI took a vacation, this past week. A vacation, not from *productivity*, but from *prioritising*.
I did accomplish things, but (apart from my job) I did so by fixing whichever problem happened to be bugging me at any given moment.
It was nice. I didn't have to spend mental energy on juggling which things to do when. It was invigorating, to see a problem and simply *do* something about it rather than have to ignore it and let it keep aching in the back of my mind while I worked on something Objectively More Important. Over the course of the week, I fixed quite a few of the little things that had been aching in me: though the big things remain (and some of the little things), there's a lot to be said for having a smaller *number* of problems.
Also I...think I might have needed less sleep? It could be a coincidence, but I woke up earlier than usual most days, despite going to bed at the same time. Even ovulation was about half its normal length.
I'll see if I can find a way to make time for this more often. Maybe ration out the interminable job hunt to a more sustainable frequency.
