Day 818 - Daydream - https://golifelog.com/posts/daydream-1680082017837
Taking time to stare into space and daydream is also part of indie hacking.
I've come to realise that this is not a nice-to-have, but a necessity. A biological need, like hunger and thirst. Anytime I get too busy and skip my weekly reviews (as I had been guilt of doing the last two months), I can feel the 'weight' of my mind bearing down on me. Everything feels more hazy and crazy. I'm carrying too many ideas and thoughts.
The staring into space and daydreaming, somehow... feels like purging. A nice kind of purging. Like spring cleaning, re-organising furniture around the house. The total amount of things inside are probably still the same, but tidier, neater, saner.
It's not like it feels like work, or like working on a task or something. Sometimes at the end, I don't feel like I've actually *done* anything. Other than just sitting there, staring blankly, listening to my music, daydreaming a bit maybe.
But perhaps this is how it really works. Just like sleep, but done when awake. You let it unfold on its own, then get up and move on like it's the most natural thing. Like waking up in the morning.
