I have decided for my mental health to take a break from Lemmy and go touch grass instead. I enjoy my time here, but it is taking away from things I should be doing, and things I want to do. I find myself doomscrolling for hours on here and I know that’s not healthy.

So I am going go finish reading a lot of books.

Going finishing writing a lot of books.

And going start going on long walks.

Starting a new job Monday and it will be work from home. I am excited and nervous, but ready for the new chapter of my life. And I need to do something productive and unplug for a few weeks from all the negative shit going on in the world.

Besides October is coming up soon my favorite time of the year, so want to enjoy the real world for a bit and hop off social media. I’ll be back but hopefully I can do better than scrolling for hours on end.

Hope you all have great rest of the month, and also a wonderful Halloween.

    I never got the whole sloppy work from home vibe.

    I mainly wore jeans but I always got fully dressed, hair fancy, cologne and deodorant, no different from going to an office.

    I have a desk that is for work only. In stay there most of the day doing work (snacks excepted). When the day is over, I walk away.

    I suppose some struggle with the temptations of home, but I always felt comfortable. Yes, leave some goof off time here and there, play with the cats, have a luxurious BM, but get your stuff done.

    I never worked from the sofa, nor did I watch TV or movies from any screen. Lunchtime walks were good (and more snacks).
