I don't know about it, but I feel like sometimes I am doing things what usually ten like me would do it. I am referring here on the fact that I am running multi threaded and I have in my mind more things to do that I can bare. And in this fast pace way of living and wanting to do everything and progress with all that I have to do, if I don't do the specific thing that goes through my mind I usually forget about it afterwards. It is like I am doing an activity and in the middle of it I remember something very important. If I take care of that in that moment all is good, but if I don't it fades away and I forget about it. And after a bit of time when I am reminded of that or put in the face of the fact, I realize that I didn't do it and simply forget. It is not that my mind is going dark on me, but it is because I have too many things to do and simply cannot address them all. And I think this is common to many of us in today's fast pace way of living, right?

An example on this was the fact that I wanted to use the #hiveproject tag based on the friendlymoose@friendlymoose feedback for the articles that are related to projects on the Hive blockchain. And guess what? While on my last post in this category - Added light theme on HivePulse app and other improvements - I mean to do just that, I forgot and didn't do it. So not only that I need to do things on the spot in order not to forget, but sometimes I need to change my routine and even write it down to remember for the future. It is true that I was posting on Hive while also working 馃槉 and some of the actions that I did were on auto pilot. But that's no excuse, as an improvement or something that I wanted to do should come to reality going forward. Multi threading it seems is not for me - even if there is a saying that men cannot multi-thread and that only women can do that. And I tend to believe there is quite some truth into that.

This might come also from a continued burnout as the concentration and time is allocated entire to family and work and I am running in between the two of them. I observed that when I take a vacation things tend to cool down, but otherwise it is like running like a chicken without a head. Trying to keep happy both worlds is not easy and maybe also this is why cracks appear as I am in a fight or flight mode. But I assume this is not happening only to me and it is something that in our times more are feeling the same.

I don't believe my mind is letting me down 馃槅 but the rush and speed that we live our lives is coming with quite a bit of stress. I am trying to force on myself to have a more balanced and calm way of handling things and issues, but as my entire life it was very active now it is a little bit harder to slow down. But I am starting to feel the weight of it and that it is not healthy for me. I understand myself and how I feel, I now need to train my mind to take things easier, don't panic, don't be affected as much from one thing or another. And who knows maybe more vacation days or maybe living out a passive income would finally let me "fly free" of worries and things that I continuously have to do.
