I've been wanting to write a post about this but it never ends up just right. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with wanting to learn new things constantly. That is how our brain works and stays healthy. The problem is when it becomes an addiction, no longer an option, where you just watch dumb minding videos like the latest vblog of some shitty influencer promoting random brands. The difference is on the content. Learning origami is good for the brain, just like

any other learning. We were highly gifted children always seeking to absorb more of the world, that doesn't change when we grow up.
I get happy when I learn something new, I get depress when I realized I just wasted an hour of my little free time on some random influencer. I look forward to cleaning the kitchen in peace, cause it means I get to listen to a lecture of sorts, depending on the time. Even as a kid, I was always doing this by daydreaming, that's the only difference. @joel

Check first Youtube videos on how to use it, but it's great! And free.

Thank you, I did, finally alone in the library after months. It was inspiring 🥰

Been enjoying a day by myself. (Crappier weather than what I was promised). Tick tock goes the clock, it's almost 5pm. 🥲 TIME FOR: kitchen, shopping, cooking, kids, eating, bedtime. Time goes too fast. #life #motherhood #metime

@fractalkitty
That was beautifully written! Hope to read more !

@noisydeadlines

Thanks for the nomination i can relate! Working on my draft now!

Anyone can recommend #Literary #Blogs that are NOT in substack? I feel the content getting a bit commercialized... like back on SEO days and thus loose their charm.

Deleted #substack . Can't remove payment information when I just wanted access for one month on a subscription. That can't be right or good. Nop.

Started a little experiment to read 2 hours a day. Tracked. Just did almost 50 pages in 30 minutes this morning. Feels better than getting updated on the phone. I know I probably read about 2 to 3 hours per day. But I want to see how that translate in do-ability, time and pages.

ik ga toch kijken, ik spreek Nederlands al 15 jaar, maar ik heb hetzelfde probleem als met spaans lezen, ik lees te veel Engels en dan vind ik het moeilijk om in een andere taal te lezen

Here is my March #reading recap!
