Do you ever feel stuck in a loop?
Oh, god so I read this part
What have I done for the past few weeks?
* Running.
* Working.
* Watching series and films on Netflix and Disney+.
* Procrastinating everything on my projects list, because the first and most important item is boring.
Without writing about my life and thoughts here I don't think it would become as obvious to me that I just am and do virtually nothing on my spare time.
This shouldn't be a problem; after all no person's value is measured in achievement and no time is better spent than the one you enjoy. It does, however, produce a certain amount of anxiety to want things done but not wanting to do them.
And I knew I need to comiserate a bit.
I've been feeling this a lot lately with how some of my depression works. I have so many things I want to be doing all the time but I just can't seem to focus or get started and time keeps slipping away from me. I like making music and weird art and going on multihour walks and experimenting in the kitchen. I have a gigantic list of books I'm in the middle of.
But I keep finding time slipping away and I've done none of these things. I don't get lost in things like Netflix but I find myself infinite scrolling through twitter or just staring off into space a lot.
I've been about to start this little project

To make myself analyze what's going wrong with all the little workflow and executive dysfunction things that seem to just be slowing me to a crawl these days. I figure if I can even make a few improvements I can stop feeling like I'm missing out on all the things I want in each day.
