I love creative challenges but I am also prone to all-or-nothing thinking and getting burnt out, so choosing challenges that are lower demand is something I've been exploring a bit this year, as well as just trying to remind myself that doing something even a bit sporadically is probably better than doing it diligently for a very short time and completely giving up - definitely haven't fully learned this yet, but we're working on it 😅
always a work in progress! thank you for framing it as "lower demand" because that makes a lot of sense to me as to why I've struggled to complete some projects and not others. reading has always been a low-demand activity for me, and going to a yoga class is easy because it's a very low-stim environment and a good respite for my nervous system.
