Whoof, it’s really been a month since my last post? That…tracks, honestly.

Things are a bit better than last week, thankfully.

Oof, it’s been a while. Not surprising, as this has been the most stressful couple of months I’ve had in a long time.

I forgot I used to have the “What I Did/What I’ll Do” format for these - that’s a nice way to structure them.

Last Friday was my last working day for the foreseeable future. I’m taking a Leave Of Absence, meaning I’m still technically employed (and thus retain the all-important Health Insurance and other benefits), but am not working (or getting paid) for three months¹. I’m planning to use this time primarily to rest, decompress, and avoid burnout; and then secondarily to think more intentionally about how I want to spend my time and my labour in the future.

A few days ago, I hit a 100-day streak of meditating using the Ten Percent Happier app.

A few weeks ago, I decided to step back from using Twitter so actively. There are certainly a lot of good things about Twitter - it’s entertaining and informative - but, from a mindset of Digital Minimalism, I could not honestly say that it was doing me more good than harm.
