😴
somewhere along the line past being a toddler, it was decided for us that we no longer needed a nap to get through the day. I’m not sure who is responsible for this injustice, but i have even reclaiming this stolen time for years.
some people like power naps. this could be 30 minutes of no screens, just chilling with your eyes closed. falling asleep is not necessary. napping is a state of mind. I am a fan of the 2-3 hour range, where I start off with an ASMR video and drift off. I then wake up feeling solidly refreshed, but not disoriented. Bonus points for having a big swig of cold water when I wake up.
when I go past 3 hours, I risk waking up sweaty and wondering what decade I’m in. but you do you. I’m also a big fan of the couch nap, because I am lucky to have an old and well-cared for couch that has just enough softness while also supporting my back. I also enjoy sleeping on top of my covers on my bed with my favorite blanket. naps! long may they rule!

Today while I was working, I got a little tired around 2:30 so I plonked myself on the studio couch and took a nap. I got like half asleep and then got up around 3:15ish and carried on. Adult nap time? Underrated.

I never used to be able to do this. I thought it was for babies and men (only guys can fall asleep literally whenever their head hits the pillow). But now that I can I take naps all the time and it’s awesome. The only problem is sometimes I can’t wake up for a long time

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
