I started reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir last weekend. Normally I fly through books but this week I only read a third of it. It’s an interesting enough book with an original concept. The problem is my tiredness and attention span. This last week I’ve been so tired that I bought myself some Red Bull, in addition to my daily Starbucks order, to get through the teaching day.
This weekend I’ve found myself doom scrolling and then feeling drowsy and down. There’s a lot of news out there lately that is concerning or depressing but it’s not good to take it all in. I believe it makes us feel rather hopeless. There’s a limit, I think, to what individuals can cope with and I’m not sure 24 hour news is doing me any good. I’m going to try and limit my exposure and hopefully feel more positive and active.
