Thank you for this piece. It’s ironic because I’ve spent this last week busy writing a piece for my substack, starting my first screenplay and researching med schools. On Saturday I chose to ignore the notifications I set for myself and do just spend the day watching films and sleeping. I felt a lot more energized and ready to work today.

A couple of days ago I got my car serviced. While waiting in the lobby, entertained by my cell phone, it crashed. I had no book to read or other diversion. For an hour and a half, I suppressed my concern for my cell, and I was forced to just drift. I sat back, just me and myself keeping each other company. It was quite nice, actually. It was peaceful. Turns out my cell only needed charging and I was soon back in go mode. To drift on purpose instead of happenstance is the thing. Thanks for the reminder!
