This is SO true!! I love the idea of filling your life with worthwhile pursuits so there’s no time left for Instagram. It’s not about taking something away, it’s adding more high quality pursuits :) love this as always!
Omg this is a gold mine. Thank you for all of these ideas! They remind me of tasks that could fall under Mihály Csíkszentmihályi's definition of Flow. I'm hoping to read it soon (once I get a copy in my hands), but he writes about how having a goal that balances between challenge and ease, gives clear feedback on if you're doing it well, and gives you a sense of power and accomplishment can make you feel fulfilled. Happy. Not pleasure, a temporary feeling like you get from scrolling. A longer lasting, impactful happy.
you're so welcome🩷 I'm glad you find this post useful, and I definitely need to read that book! finding something with the right amount of challenge is definitely important, I like those ideas!
I love this candiceeee!!! Also thinking lots about *projects for the sake of projects* and *research for the sake of research* and how we are conditioned to think these projects need to have an end goal rather than just being a way to enjoy our little lives
oh perhaps I'll give little updates on how it's coming along in the subscriber chat :') also would recommend looking through other personal websites and see what styles you're drawn to and starting there! and then once you get into the swing of things you can tweak and make it even more personal 🩷
Murakami is absolutely my fav author too but I haven't read this latest. Going to check out your review. Love these ideas and the 'digital garden' especially!
there are so many cooler things to do than stare at a $1k+ metal box, popping colourful bubbles with our fingertips! thanks for sharing some insight to what makes you tick :))) you seem to live a life of creation over consumption which is simple yet inspiring
Took notes. I can crochet--dish clothes. So I've been thinking if I made a bunch of them over the summer I might have a (very stiff) quilt. Thinking about this. Great ideas. :o)
ooh yes that's the perfect big project that will keep you busy for a while! I'm similarly wanting to make a blanket but made up of squares that will need to be crocheted together. many days of productive fun for both of us🥰
Nina, if you can crochet dishcloths, you can crochet soft squares for a quilt. Choose yarn instead of string. If you choose yarn that’s much bulkier, you might need to use a larger size hook.
