Choice Is Quietly Exhausting
I’m starting something new because I don’t want to touch the three unfinished pieces I already have. That’s probably saying something, even if I don’t want to unpack it right now.
Life feels hard more often than not, broken up by short bursts of fun and distraction. I wonder if I should look more closely at my actions, or maybe interrogate them properly. How am I actually going. Where am I really at.
I notice how quickly my thinking drifts when things get uncomfortable. Jokes sneak in. Nonsense questions. Anything to avoid staying still with the feeling.
I keep telling myself I need to get on top of things. I’ve made one small change that might help. I’ve decided to use my Freewriter app exclusively and stop switching between that and my dedicated writing device.
The choice between the two drains me far more than it should. It genuinely exhausts me. I’ve been using both because I spent a small fortune on the device, and I don’t want that money to feel wasted. I know that’s sunk cost thinking, but knowing it doesn’t automatically stop it.
Even so, I’m choosing simplicity. One tool. One place. Less friction.
That’s enough for today.
