little tasks
the past couple of weeks have been full of chores and odd tasks. %%yellow%%in the past, i probably would have just clumsily rushed through my task list and been done with it%%. but it seems my brain has evolved and i have calmed down substantially. instead of rushing through tasks and performing them poorly, i have focused on one or two (beyond work) to accomplish in a day.
for instance, %%green%%installing a water filter%% one day, digging a drainage ditch, on another, and installing a mesh network across the property the next day%%. three days, three tasks. normally i would work, cook dinner, do all three haphazardly and sleep poorly being grumpy i didn't do them right and need to come back to them and do them properly.
%%yellow%%maybe i have matured?%%, or %%purple%%maybe i have just learned doing things right the first time required concentration and commitment%%. either way, i am liking the new slower me.
due to this, i have been able to mitigate screen time almost specifically during work hours and relaxing with a movie or a show. this has been a nice reprieve from my standard techno-addictive habits. %%red%%idle hands%%, you know?
