Work, Work
Piggybacking on my last post, I'm finding it easy to remember not to visit social media sites, but that then makes me go to my normal backup plan, that being watching TV or just reading the news.
If you'll recall those are also two things off limits to me this month. So the default position still seems to be "do work". Either I need to get better at working longer or I need to find other hobbies that feel relaxing to take the place of all the things I'm giving up.
Of course I have those, but they feel a little more involved. Firing up an old school video game can take more concentration than, say, WoW or Minecraft does. Planning my upgrades for the arcade is slightly more involved than, say, reading Reddit.
Perhaps that's become the problem with our society though, numbed and dumbed to where even our hobbies feel like too much work.
