If I'm in the right headspace and I'm not hungry and don't have to pee. And I have music playing and my cats aren't in a crazy mood. Unironically if one of these things aren't true I will probably get distracted

just putting on music or a podcast a ticking away at something mindless that needs getting done. batch editing photos, data inputting and admin anything that's kinda automatic and let's your mind wander

this has been happening rarely for me nowadays, but historically when it does it is always when i’m passionately invested in something, truly happy, at peace or in love… or all of the above. it’s a beautiful feeling to not worry about what you need to do next and it means you’re not staring at the clock waiting for something to end. lose track of time. good stuff

Every time there is a long holiday break from work or even a night where I don't have much going on, I find myself super anxious, desperately looking for a way to do something productive (write, clean, bake then clean more, workout, do a task I've been putting off). My boyfriend, on the other hand, is realllllly good at RELAXING. Yesterday he spent the whole day in bed watching Tiny Desk on the T.V., drinking tea, reflecting and relaxing. At the end of the day he said it was much needed and then went to bed early. In 2024 I want to be able to do NOTHING and feel good. Like really good, not fake good. Haven't done it yet but I think I would highly recommend it.

Top Recs from @VZA
Guys I finally figured this out after like 5 years of being an Apple Music subscriber. And the amount of times I almost switched to Spotify because "the recs are sm better" isn't even funny. I stayed true to Apple Music and finally discovered this station that actually plays you NEW music that you've never played before. It's called the Discovery Station and it's been on repeat for like a week for me and I'd say it's like 90% artists I've never heard before. When it plays artists I know, it's songs I've never heard. Crazzzy how I didn't know about this for so many years. So if you knew about this and never told me I'm kinda pissed off

I've recently loved going down "related recs" rabbit holes. I feel the algorithm is so oddly spot on in suggesting posts with similar intention and context.
Even when the recs aren't suuuper related they're usually still worth a read and share some of the same words lol plus if your rec doesn't have a ton of identical related recs, it probably means you're super unique and different!!!
Jk but isn't it crazy how when something is designed for the purpose of user experience and enjoyment rather than engagement and profit people tend to like it a lot more. It's rare these days so you love to see it

Ignorant to the distracting whereabouts of those within the immediate vicinity of my car, spending time in my driver's seat after completing a task (whether it be a day at work or even a short errand) has been revelational to my inner peace
Ironically, stepping out in public spaces often unsettles me. But place me in my car in the busiest parking lot full of judgemental people and I'll still find peace of mind, even though I'm entirely visible to the public. Why???
Maybe something about being in my car makes me feel normal. That could be it... what a nice feeling that is!!! This is ruined when I make eye contact with someone outside. They're just a friendly person, going to the park, or heading into their apartment, right? Right!!! Until they come back, and they see you still in your car. How humiliating. I like to think that this is a rare occurence. I try not to intentionally make eye contact too often though so I could be totally wrong
I like to sit in my car while it's off, eat a snack, enjoy a scroll, or call a friend. When I either get too hot or too cold I know it's time to move on with my day. This is why fall and spring are the best seasons. Temperatures are more accomodating for my decompress-in-car time
I'm writing this in the parking lot of one of my favorite local thrift stores. So far, I'm unhumiliated and feeling optimistic about my day!! I hope you are experiencing similar feelings today!!!
