Stolen from another fedi instance that doesn't seem to play with this one.

If anyone knows whom to credit, I will edit.

Me: At last, a chance to write.

Brain: How could you connect the TV to the hi-fi?

I seem to have entered some weird manic phase where I can't stop thinking about projects I want to do. My brain is having some trouble shutting off at night and I either lie awake thinking about projects or I actually get up and continue working. This has to stop. I only have the mental bandwidth to work on so many projects at a time. And my body can't handle the diminishing sleep patterns.

How many active projects is too many? Where do you draw the line on work/life balance?

3 am...

My Brain: Hey, happy memory for you! Here's you finding a book you liked in a charity shop back in the summer!

Me: Oh yeah, that's right, thanks brain.

My brain: Where in the house is that book now, by the way?

Me: ..........😶
