1. I keep hearing about The Artist’s Way but never really knew what it was. This breakdown finally piqued my interest—and now I’m going to look into it. Anything to help me tap into that inner creative kid sounds good right now, especially since I've been living in a near-constant state of edge. I need something more intentional to help me spend my time better.
2. I’ve tried doing a social detox and failed every time. Miserably. But I still daydream about the day I no longer work in social and can finally trade in my iPhone for a flippy.
3. I love the way you closed this with a list of everything you’ve been doing, like little memory notes (attempted murder aside, obviously).
Thank you for the shoutout. You’re a wonderful writer, and I’m so glad we’ve gone from LinkedIn pals to this.
You'd LOVE The Artist's Way (at least knowing what I know about you 😂). It's been harder work than I thought, but trying not to be too hard on myself on the days I don't get it "right." Every little step counts! The "near-constant state of edge" is SO real—esp in social/marketing roles, I think.
Ummm I literally used to fantasize about being a chicken farmer so I didn't need to use technology. True story. And then I'm reminded I'd be terrified of birds and am much more comfortable hiding behind a screen. Sigh.
And thank you re: memory notes! They're a selfish way for me to keep track of my year—but with all the links I text friends throughout the week.
Love going from a LinkedIn friendship ➡️ Substack friendship (and IRL hopefully!)
Pangs!!!!
Thought of you immediately! ❤️
