The paradox of productivity tools becoming the source of overwhelm is so real. Sometimes the best hack is stepping away from all the dashboards and algoritms entirely. Your handwritten menus are a perfect example of how analog aproaches can cut through the noise when digital tools amplify it. The 10 minute walk solution is brillant, physical movement really does reset our thinking patterns in ways that no app can replicate.
Thank you! And yes, as someone whose day job is literally being on the computer with 3 different screens, sometimes I just need to shut everything off and go analog!
You figured it out. It's like riding a horse. If you hold the reins too tight, the horse can feel your tension, the anxiety, and will act accordingly; scittish, fractured, turning in all the wrong directions at the same time. When you relax, loosen the reins, the horse--the thing that carries you, day in and day out--relaxes as well. It lets you decide which direction, not it. There no longer is the struggle to see who is stronger; there is a mutual agreement that it is a combined effort, best undertaken with measured steps and quiet breathing. <3

I’m all for going analog! Walks, pen & paper are my staples to center my chaos.
Seriously! It is the absolute best!
I love your writing list, film list and self care list. Self care is so important for my own sanity.
Thank you!!!! 😊
I've been wondering when this was going to happen. Congratulations.
The power of a walk and analog list 💙 You got this!
😅 Congratulations?
