can you just tell me what to do?
when life hacks don't lead to winning life

I can't believe we're midway through December already. This year has truly flown by! After Ultra and Coachella (both of which were 2020 ticket purchases LOL), I've been so worried about my book and my future more generally that I didn't want to plan any vacations. Just grind it out, I told myself, Q2 will be relaxation and research, Q3 will be the book proposal, Q4 will be a content sprint, and then you can relax. Last night, Nathaniel and I sat down to try to plan a vacation now that I finally have some clarity on next year, and I got so overwhelmed by the idea of vacation in January instead of setting up interviews, reading, and researching for my book and online content that I... pushed our vacation to March.
I don't want to be one of those workaholic Americans yet constantly find myself to be exactly like the other workaholic Americans. In other words, I'm adding "go back to therapy" to my new year's resolutions.
