The problem for me is that I get stuck in the in-betweens! It's always so hard to reel it in and move onto another task that's being demanded of me lol. Looking at the dandelions popping up always seems so much more important to me than responding to the email
That's so funny, I have the opposite problem! It's so easy for me to go, go, go until I collapse and realize I haven't stopped to take it all in. You're definitely not alone in getting stuck in the in-betweens though!
Really enjoyed this list, Hannah! During the pandemic, I came across the term infra-ordinary. It was coined by French author and artist George Perec and is defined as the opposite of extraordinary. Perec encouraged readers to examine their everyday lives, identify significant moments, and appreciate the beauty in the patterns of their routines. Some time after creating the term, he spent three days at a cafe in Paris, recording everything he saw as he 'exhausted the place.' He presented the data simply but thoughtfully in a book called "An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris." I have the book at home :) You may like it too!
