    I try to read more but what else is there when I don’t wanna just read? I’ve done some notebook stuff too but I’ve found using it too much makes me be anxious about writing a lot down lol.

    For instance as I lay on the bed for 10-20 minutes waiting for my child to take their nap. Do I just stare into the void?

    Exactly that. State into the void and let my thoughts wonder

      I enjoy thinking, closing my eyes for a bit, or focusing on my breathing. Or I'll listen to the birds outside.

      Bird watching is actually fun. Animals and nature watching in general.

        I say this sitting beside four servers (including this instance) and one offsite server, you’re very much right. I enjoy homelabbing a lot. Probably my biggest hobby outside of research and gaming. That’s a fun way to think of it!

        I love home labbing but sometimes it a chore not an escape. Especially more when you rely or want to actually use the services rather than tinker with broken shit.

          I wish I could learn to nap. I'm 30 and I've never been able to do it. Even a 14 hour flight there is no way I'm going to nod off even for a second

          Me too. I can only nap if I'm exhausted.

            If I am by myself and don’t want to engage my devices or read, I will try to do something productive, like clean or organize a space that is messy. When I lay with my kids as they go to bed, I usually stare into the void and reminisce about them when they were younger. Thankfully they now fall asleep super fast, so I don’t have to spend 10-20 minutes with them. When they were much younger, I’d fall asleep with them until my wife (at the time) would wake me for my bedtime.

              This is a great recommendation. To add another you can also get the Medito App for either Android or iOS which is also free.

                  Seconded Kiwix! Or, start learning some programming- I listen to Python programming videos while I'm doing boring stuff to absorb information...and it's relaxing ha

                    Agreed. I’ve chilled out about it a bit. Now that everything’s working I do not care to add more things. Actively trying to run less services.
