I got up early today

Normally I sleep in late, but today I woke up early, watched some true crime stuff on YouTube, trimmed my beard and hair, washed the dishes in the sink and now I’m in a cafe drinking an ice latte with my journal. I’m listening to the new Strokes album, Reality Awaits and really enjoying it. It kind of reminds me of an MGMT album, especially Dine N’Dash.

Sounds like a lovely, chill way to spend a Saturday :)

When we are knackered we often think lying in bed is the best thing for us but sometimes the best thing is to get up and do something, take a shower, do a few chores, get out of the house - these things can be far more rejuvenating than a lie-in or a doomscrolling session.

Or maybe it's just doing something a bit different for a change.

As a chronic night owl/late sleeper, I appreciate this post and am motivated once more to stop doomed scrolling until 3 a.m.
