GM Nostr. 🌞
Holiday with the family starting tomorrow.
I've always had a lot of trouble taking time off. I'm sure many of you can relate. I love what I get to call "work". It's intellectually stimulating, aligned to my values, and feels generally important in the "build the future you want to live" sort of way.
But, I've found that if I'm not careful, that satisfaction and feeling of doing something meaningful can quickly become a crutch that I use to avoid doing other things that are as meaningful (or more!) but that don't quite give me the same types of satisfaction.
Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my family, but it's easy to convince yourself that other stuff is more important or more urgent. I mean, your family is always going to be there right?! (p.s. - this is obviously not true)
It's something I've been consciously working on the last few years. It's so hard for me but I've been forcing myself to nearly entirely switch off the work stuff for a few weeks a year. And you know what? I always come back with new ideas and more clarity about what I'm working on and why. Sounds trite and cliche, I know. But it's true.
So, here's to normalizing taking some time off and not constantly hustling.
sooo many bitcoin podcasts and shitposts to get to - struggle is real😂
🤙🏽
I’m entering the fourth week of summer holiday with two smalle kids 2 and 4. Maaaan I’m looking forward getting back to work.
Yeah, my three have been on holiday the last month and a half. The distraction, even at home, is real. 😅
That’s the real proof of work. Day starts 05.30 and typically ends around 20.00 so damn exhausting
Good on you. I shut the internet off for 2 weeks every year.
If this falls over, so sue me but I DGAF. Live is too short. Enjoy.
Absolutely! That’s the tricky part of “not working” (but doing what you love as a job)
Enjoy your offline time ☀️🍻👫🏼
This is must have requirement 🧡
Absolutely, we need the time off to reset and recharge the brain so to speak. 💯⚡️
GM good for you enjoy your time off
What does GM mean? I see it alot lately
yeah it's a constant struggle. I have been trying to get better at this by not working on weekends. I have only so much time with mr e left :(
it’s always easy to convince ourselves the work is more important. And it is important. But so are other things. 🫂
Sage advice. I’d always rather be writing code than cleaning the house 🤣
GM Jeff! Hope you can enjoy some mindful r and r with the fam! It’s not easy slowing it down, best of luck!!
