Change your life to do what you enjoy

🫣 Maybe you have been in this situation:

- All day during work/school you think "I would rather be enjoying my hobbies rn"

- Then you get home, but instead of doing the hobbies you enjoy, you crash on the couch with Instagram reels for 3 hours! 😭

I don't know if this is executive functioning, pathological demand avoidance... idk what. But if you let yourself do this over time, you will feel less happiness because you are not doing the things that matter to you.

I think spreading awareness is enough to make steps in the right direction!

+ I find an appreciation for "boring" work because it makes me want to draw more.

+ During work, I write down all the fun things I would rather be doing

+ After work, instead of crashing out, I revisit that list with intention!

And this is my 2b pencil drawing 🙂‍↕️

Have a good day! ❤️

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly makes us happy. Procrastination often leads us to spend evenings scrolling through social media instead of engaging in fulfilling hobbies. Taking small steps to prioritize activities we love can significantly enhance mental health and life satisfaction. One effective method is keeping a list of tasks you genuinely want to do. During busy hours, jot down what hobbies or interests you yearn to explore. This creates a sense of anticipation and motivates you to carve out time after work or school. Whether it’s drawing, crafting, or any other passion, intentionally revisiting this list can reignite your enthusiasm and creativity. Moreover, understanding the psychological aspects behind procrastination, such as executive functioning challenges, can help tailor strategies that work for you. Recognizing when you’re falling into the 'couch trap' is the first step toward making a change. Embracing a mindset of balance between responsibilities and personal interests is essential for a happier, more fulfilling life. Balancing commitments while nurturing passions can ultimately lead to increased productivity and well-being!
