The Law of Inertia

Still quarantined, who woulda figured.

I will not lie, it's been kinda nice. Forced a life slow-down...but I haven't been able to reflect and mentally restart like I've wanted to. Or do anything else, really. I'm sure many others have experienced a similar phenomenon, but there's something that happens when you get a lot of extra free time...you get less done. Sad fact of life.

I am motivated by inertia, and things slowing down has not done much for my motivation. However, I do feel more relaxed since work has slowed down. That was causing a bit of stress, apparently...but at the same time, having that stress in my life was motivating me to do other things, I guess.
I have noticed this same pattern at many points in my life. It's counterintuitive and incredibly frustrating. I would be curious to see how many other people experience this. I would venture to guess that most, if not 95% of people do in fact experience this. Honestly, it frustrates me quite a bit. It makes me feel like no balance can be attained in life...
