I am so annoyed with myself. It’s been 8 months since I even looked at this site. So many reasons – but none of them really add up to “I didn’t have time”. I actually don’t allow those words in my vocabulary – I didn’t take the time. That’s the truth. A few years ago there was a wonderful website that focused on spending just a few minutes a day, or perhaps it was a week on your “heart project”. They didn’t call it that, but that’s what it was. I wish it still existed. I would sign up right now.
I can say that in that 8 months I didn’t miss a day of playing Gardenscapes, Bingo or Solitaire. Until last week – when I quit all of them. I read a great article about “Tool Shaped Objects” It’s on Twitter/X – which I had a hellava time finding.
A tool shaped object feels, looks and acts like a tool, but doesn’t accomplish anything. The takeaway for me was when I play a game I’m tricking my mind into thinking I’m doing something useful. I need to let boredom happen.
