💖 There is nothing wrong with being unproductive. End this fuckin nasty ass hustle grind productivity culture and toxic ass consumerism. Be a sloth. Have less stuff. Put in the bare minimum on societally programmed shit and put your heart into values you care about. We exist in this system that perpetuates overachieving/burnout, rewards psychopathic amounts of work, and looks down on resting. We have one (1) life on this planet and putting in 80hr workweeks isn’t a flex, it’s just sad.

There is so much *Wrong* I see going on in our society. Can anyone find the *Right*? What are things that are actually positive, unselfish, and helpful to the world?

There's a difference between following a passion + being inspired to move forward by it, and arbitrarily churning shit out to add to the already extant oversaturation of data out there. I try to make everything I post a work of art and intention. I wrote an essay about the feelings of alienation that arise sometimes in this line of work. Motivation, inspiration, discipline, and drive are complex.

This post prob won't get many likes/views/etc because this month has been slow and engagement is slow, so I will most likely end up re-linking this article a couple of times. If I have to repeat myself to get my message across then I will. There are some things that I work too hard on to be one-off, "post it once and then be done" type of situation. I might also just start posting less often if it's super slow. If I miss several days of posting, ultimately no one will actually care, except my own conscience and psychotic work ethic. In any case, I'll do my best to make both you + me happy on this here weird internet corner.

I’m an intrinsically motivated person and I don’t work as well when my day or activities are structured. I don’t as much have a routine as much as I have an intuitive felt based and organic interaction with my day. I organize my days based on inspiration. This is why I don’t post at predictable times.

(But I do post daily! Sometimes more than once! I don’t consider that laborious work because I genuinely enjoy doing it, I’m a verbose lady and I have a lot to say. I love taking pictures of myself and coming up with new video ideas. My previous jobs included working at a fast paced media company as a video producer so I’m used to the pace, although it feels SO. Much. Better. To do this on my own time and my own deadlines. Also it lets the creative juices out, but as I approach year two of doing this platform I feel a bit existential about it. I know how to rest and recuperate, which is great personally but not so good on the internet which demands a constant ever-flowing stream of new content).

Thank you if you do engage with my posts/appreciate my work here on a regular basis, not just when prompted to 💖
