FRIED DODO

For the first time in my life, I feel like I have had too much on my plate the past month 😵‍💫 I've been working like crazy, and even though I managed to keep seeing my friends, stay active etc, I started noticing a few things 👉🏻 It's getting extremely difficult to answer my messages, professional and personal. I gave the priority to customer supports, sales etc, and often neglected the personal messages. Result: my whatsapp is full of unanswered conversations... It's a huge mental burden 👉🏻 I gave up on a lot of "tiny habits" I had just to gain more time. For example, I used to take my coffee on my balcony, without doing anything, for 10m every morning. I haven't done that for 3 weeks now 👉🏻 I started to plan my cycle rides. I know it sounds like nothing, but I always disliked planning things, especially this 😅. I like to go with the flow and go for a ride when I feel like it. I haven't done that for a few weeks, and now it feels like an effort to go biking, because it's planned in advance 👉🏻 I started having trouble disconnecting from my work. My attention span is lower than ever, and even talking with my partner feels difficult sometimes. Which is weird cause I'm usually very talkative 👉🏻 I didn't write a blog post for more than 3 weeks. I used to like writing blog posts, because it felt like a pause, and a way to step back and think deeply about a topic for an hour or two. 👉🏻 I haven't done any work on Writizzy, my other project, for weeks. Because I gave all my focus and time to Uneed. Good for business maybe, but I like working on Writizzy. I don't think I'm having a burnout, but I do think I'll soon burn myself if I don't stop this madness 😅. So this week, I'll take it easy. No calls, no 10 hours working day. I have a few things planned for Uneed though, but I'll also try to work on Writizzy, do some gardening, cooking, special time with my partner, etc. I think I'll also start to stop replying to everything, including some DMs 😕. What do you think? Did you already experiment something like that? What did you do 😅?

Our sweet Sadie passed away yesterday. She was taken by a large dog that attacked her senselessly. Sadie has been with us nearly 12 years and this has broken our hearts greatly. She was one of a kind in every way!
