just do whatever you feel like doing in the moment. there's no such thing as wasting time.

this is actually a weekly ritual for me that I've been doing for like a year now. every weekend I block out at least 1 hour to just sit and 'waste time'. no screens, no music (these two are super important), just be outside and paying attention to the sounds and sights and smells. plus letting my mind wander. sometimes my wasting time is just a walk and taking film photos. or people watching. but the essence is you carve out a block of time to simply exist without any pressure to create or produce or do anything and to just do what you want. super grounding.
another thing I make time for is at least a one hour block to make something with my hands. can be press on nails, jewellery, clay, whatever. my brain struggles to be still and this is the only way I get the stream of thoughts to chill. also there is something so fulfilling about making something with your hands and seeing the product of your handiwork and toil (insert Dostoyevsky quote here).

Sometimes I get in bed, I’ve done nothing but breathe, stay in place, and distract myself for the entire day, and I feel a pretty heavy weight that’s only gotten bigger as I’ve gotten older; you know that voice that says, “i’ve got to do what this successful person did or i need to finally take that advice or i need to be PRODUCTIVE”. and in fact, I spent the whole day worrying so much about being productive that I didn’t do anything I really wanted to do in the first place. And that’s okay! We are not machines, we’re not broken or repaired, we just are. we are not measured by what we can produce, even though the society we live in wants us to feel that way soooo bad. Fuck that. find the love in the world and everything else will fall into place. be okay with doing nothing

Try doing nothing until you get really bored

disregard digital validation and don't let numbers be a gauge of how well you're doing. starting out with a small and loyal reader base is way more important than having a million subscribers
