I've started putting an email vacation message up on weekends to set expectations for slower than usual responses, and to allow myself some time to kick back with some good old fashioned entertainment that doesn't always require me to use my phone, social media, or a computer. I have been finding that reading new books, watching new movies, and just generally allowing myself to follow my curiosity (as opposed to my Facebook notifications) has allowed me to recharge on a deeper level and to engage my creative spark while doing so.
In the spirit of lower-tech (is there any such thing on a blog?), I've got analog with this Saturday's post. Here's my handwritten list of things I've been watching, listening to, reading, and oh yeah, eating. These things have been bright spots in a full and sometimes stressful week and have further proved to me that art can go a long way in helping me to keep calm and carry on. I hope you find something here that strikes you, too!
