Anti-Focus
Week 20
Doing projects is good for the soul. Doing tiny projects that finish quickly is even better for the soul. Doing massive projects and trying to tackle them all at once is definitely not good for the mind, body, or soul. It is, in fact, a recipe for disaster. I’ve been totally exhausted this week, both physically and mentally. I’ve also been irritated by the sharp pain and lingering swelling in my left hand, and since yesterday, I’ve had the not-so-warm welcome of a new soreness in my right shoulder. It’s becoming clearer that age is fast approaching, and my body is pulling no punches in reminding me of it. It didn’t help that I also spent the entire weekend building an IKEA couch that, after much delicate hand maneuvering, was only finished a few hours ago (late Sunday evening). The place is cluttered, as is the mind, but the couch is cozy.
This has been the anti-focus week, where I’ve spent much of the time not doing anything constructive in my personal projects, but instead trying to construct some sort of framework to build on for the future. It’s coming along slowly, and there has been a serious lack of drive or motivation this week (post-war fatigue?), but with everything going on at the moment, there hasn’t been much room for reading or thinking. So, not much to say, naturally. Maybe that explains the movie overload this week
