I must remember to write
I’ve almost certainly said something like this before, but with my memory processes being what they are, I can’t remember if I have or not.
Yesterday was about writing for me. I wrote the last two articles for the blog – some 1700 or so words. I wrote a bunch of replies to comments, and some in-depth technical emails for work too. All in all, I spent most of the day putting my thoughts into writing.
And you know what? I felt absolutely great for having done so. I’d forgotten just how soothing I find writing.
When I got home, I felt my usual AS-over-stimulation-related tiredness from the working day, but it didn’t last anywhere near as long as it has been doing in these recent post-holiday days. I enjoyed a relaxed but not overly tired evening, and even managed a quick ten minutes of work towards my own business without putting it off or looking upon it with dread, which again is a first for this week.
So, my tip to myself, which I will of course instantly forget, and will probably not rediscover from this post at any point in the future – is to write whenever I can. Only writing truely clears out my thought processes, allowing me to feel relaxed, less stressed and thoroughly less over-stimulated.
I’m on holiday again next week with my family, this time in Scotland. I’m going to take my laptop with me, and will try to write a couple of articles whilst I’m there. It will be interesting to see how my exhaustion levels compare at the end of the week versus how they were at the end of last weeks holiday.
