I like that I can comment now! Were the shrubs hard to make? What will you do to upcycle the cable drum? ALSO I definitely get what you mean when you talk about not allowing yourself time to take a minute off. Sometimes the constant movement is a way of distracting ourselves or trying to compensate for something we feel we’re lacking, and I think it’s important to deliberately reframe it from “taking time off” to investing in a new method of productivity that lets your mind stew to complete its own sorting for quality thoughts. I struggle with this but reluctantly I’ll admit that spending time NOT being productive often results in higher quality when I am next productive. Thanks for prompting the self reflection this week, Ryan!
