I quit a job of 2 months with nothing lined up this Monday, the company was full of red flags but I won’t go into it because it only raises my blood pressure.
I’ve decided to take a few weeks out to forget about them so I’m not bringing a bad vibe to an interview/new job.
I was told by friends and family not to quit until I had something lined up, but just couldn’t take it anymore, sometimes you get to your limit I guess.
Deleted BBC News, Facebook, and Reddit (unfortunately), just skimming HN for cool tech content every now and again.
I'm feeling a lot better. Leaving my apartment, looking at the blue sky and the bustling people on their way to work. Life feels much better, I'm also not checking my phone as often.
wake up, grab some comfy clothes, go outside into the cold and smoke a roll up, get back in and make a coffee, get into bed and check notifications and read stuff on my phone for an hour then go to work
I started using Google Keep until I was up to around 200 project ideas. I then moved it all to Trello, fleshed out each idea, prioritised, and labelled every idea. Ever since I've just been adding ideas directly to the Trello board via the app.
I don't know if it's related.. but Twitter removes www. from tweets. Seeing as I don't have a wildcard SSL cert, I can't post my website URL on twitter as it leads to http://website.x
Recently I've been bouncing from hobby to hobby trying to free my creativity. I bought some nice pencils and a sketch pad and started drawing, I took out a unity learning subscription and started programming VR games, I bought a guitalele to practice guitar without hauling a full size guitar about. And I've been experimenting with live looping in FLStudio with my Akai Mini midi.
What's ruining me though is the amount of time I spend resting, drinking, smoking, or on Reddit. I'm trying to get a fun routine, or switch out the bad habits for good ones, setting myself evening goals.
