Resting, #0

I need to learn how to rest, so I’m taking a month off working on projects. I’ve found that I’m good at spending energy, but not at recovering it. It’s much easier for me to constantly work on things than to rest. I want to continue my other projects, but this needs to be what I focus on now. I’m going to keep posting here, but it’s probably going to be pretty minimal. The posts may even be like, “Yep, I rested today and didn’t create things.”

Here’s the goal: don’t create anything for a month (30 days from tomorrow, ending at midnight, February 17th). I can write down any ideas I have, play guitar, play games, read, and take photos, but not do anything which results in a creative work. I’m also excluding intense learning and finishing things, my usual go-to options. Maybe rest and work don’t have to be mutually exclusive, but I’m not there yet, and I need to start with the basics: just resting.
