Just do nothing

Yesterday was a glorious day. After wrapping up work with a couple hours of calls in the morning, I logged off with no plans except to lay in bed and watch Netflix all day. I made it out of the house to grab lunch and had to take one 15 minute work call, but besides that, I spent the rest of the day doing exactly nothing in bed until our nanny left.

I can’t remember the last time I did something like that. It’s crazy to think but it must be many years. I’ve always been someone who needs to get up and do fill my day with things to do when I have free time. The script is usually the same when I have a free day - go exercise, run errands, check out a new restaurant, etc. If I don’t feel like I’m getting ahead, I simply just feel lazy.

Sometimes being lazy and relaxing is much needed though. It was evident yesterday as I fell asleep for almost 2 hours during the day out of exhaustion. I’m getting older and my responsibilities are growing, it’s about time I adjust my schedule to fit my new life. That means less activities and more rest so I can stop feeling like shit all the time.

First order of business is peeling back my schedule so I can simply just get more rest when there’s free time.
