It makes me more productive in my life. Like, last night, I was like “What should I do? Netflix has nothing good on, Reddit discussions are shit, video games aren’t fun anymore… I guess I could clean my apartment?” And now my apartment is clean.

It’s also gotten me to work on improving on stuff I actually enjoy instead of wasting my life.

How did you manage to not want to play videogames? I can sink 999⁹ hours into a game like Factorio or like FF14 let alone the hours I’ll spend on a game that isn’t even fun

Part of it is just finding something I enjoy more that I can work on. For me, it’s social dancing, mostly west coast swing.

In my old age, I’ve become a lot more accepting of saying “fuck this, I’m bored” and stopping something. This has been beneficial. It has unfortunately been happening a lot more lately than it did even 5 years ago.

As a result, I’ve been doing a lot more creative things. I’ve been writing music again for the first time since high school, I’m writing a short story, and I’m developing a lil video game.

I think more people should do lil creative things. Things that aren’t for mass appeal. Things that might have 3 fans at best. That shit is cool. I love that shit. Yeah, I’m drunk at 2:45pm on a Saturday, don’t judge me. Accidentally got too drunk working on a song.
