freedom! a lot of energy is reclaimed by rejecting these self-imposed burdens, and the energy balance can then be redistributed towards things which give more return
i also!! have a constant running list of "things ive stopped doing" and its things like the last 2 bullet points u have:
things im not doing reminders
* treating sleep like a luxury instead of a baseline
* saying “we should grab coffee” to people I don’t actually plan to see
* responding to texts immediately even when you're in the middle of focused work
* but also putting off texts for days on end
* checking the same three apps on loop like a slot machine
* being afraid to end a hang out or leave a party/event early
* multi-tasking during calls then having to ask people to repeat everything
* opening twitter when you meant to check one specific thing
