Slowing down
Upon reading Space Wanderer's post on burnout, I wanted to write this post, as a reminder for myself.
For the past month, I've intentionally slowing down.
I (mostly) quit Instagram and Youtube. I still check Instagram by web on weekend. Only to check for new posts from 9 hand-picked creators I still followed. I limit Youtube for weekends only. Contents that I consider interesting, are added to my "watch later" list. So far, quitting social media give me time to do the things I have been "too busy to do".
I wrote emails to my old friends. I noticed that some of my favourite creators are posting less too. Tried to reach out by email to them, just to see how they are doing. Funny how email is considered slow communication these days.
Now I have the time to do all my "fix-it-later" list. I have time to organize my photos and memories. I have time to compose my thoughts by journalling. Now I know I have the time.
It's ok to slow down.
