Looking for books that are the equivalent of a long walk in a forest, listening to lo-fi beats, or one of those adult coloring books - Lemmy.World

If that even makes sense. Perhaps I’m wishing for a book that doesn’t or cannot exist. I want to read something that is relaxing while stimulating and satisfying curiosity. I dont want something juvenile. It’s ok if it’s deep and thought provoking, but doesn’t have to be. It should not have conflict. When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery. I just had the thought that what Im describing is poetry, but poetry is something which I’ve struggled to enjoy. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

X screenshot that says “Oh my god did you see the latest poll? Pennsylvania is within the marg-” You bolt awake. The year is 1656. You summon a servant, sure of what must be done. You are Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. And William Penn must die.

4 AM: Sleep or Make the Most of It?

4 AM: Sleep or Make the Most of It? - Lemmy.World

If you are awake at 4 am, and have to be at work at 7, should you even try to get back to sleep or should you try to do something with your time?

If I wake up early, I will try and relax but be slightly productive by tidying up. Then I’ll make some tea before sitting and deciding what to do. Sunday scaries aren’t even on the horizon because the day is pregnant with potential. It’s easy for thst potential to shrivel up and miscarry though. Sometimes I’ll waste hours reading the news, other times I will read a book or play a video game.

Once it gets close to noon and the day no longer feels young I’ll begin to get anxious. Maybe I have some bigger chores to do that I shouldn’t put off. Or maybe the feeling that the day is lost merges with a similar feeling about life, which urges me to do something, anything, with my time.

If I’m not careful, time can pass with nothing being accomplished and it’s suddenly almost 5. The weekend is gone and it’s time to enter self care mode. That usually means good food and entertainment in one form or another. As it gets dark I’ll start trying to stop time with booze or a bit of weed as I indulge myself with sports or a movie.

Then it’s time for bed.

What is it that you do to fight off the Sunday scaries?

Self care? Chores? Try and fix every problem with your life before you have to go back in less than 24 hours to the job you hate?
