I work from home so it's really tempting for me to just leave my work computer in "work" mode overnight - docker containers running, IDE hanging, slack notifs popping off, a bajillion tabs open. Close that shit down at 5pm. Aside from acting as a ritual to transition from work-life to life-life, it also gives you something concrete to start the next morning with while the coffee kicks in.

idk maybe it's because I'm in college and perhaps this is the only time it's possible but I fully believe in work-life balance and setting concrete boundaries between your work-time & your self-time. Fuck any Outlook/Gmail/corporate mobile app, keep that shit ON YOUR LAPTOP and the moment you're clocked out, that laptop is SHUT and nothing is getting read til you clock in the next day (or til you need to open ur computer again ig)

If you work a 9-5 and don't have a big deadline coming down on you, don't start something after 4pm, its not worth it. 3PM is alright, maybe you can crank something out, but 4pm is for finishing things up and wistfully looking out the window until you can not work anymore.

I don't have a ton of music making experience outside of writing songs for myself and doing nothing with them. but I'd love to do more. This is all I have that's public:
space worm - a collaboration with 2 other students/friends. I did the lyrics, melody, and vocals. fun fact we only had 1 day to record the vocals so I was singing for 5 hours straight with no breaks and I wanted to cry. good times

It's a 2 minute short film about Agnès Varda's cat, Zgougou. Adorable, heartwarming and imbued with Agnès Varda's joyful spirit.

aside from being incredible brain candy, this... remix (?) of a thousand miles genuinely feels like an emotional experience the depths and simultaneous ridiculousness of which the original could never reach. something about those pitched up vocals, man.
i had it on repeat for the entirety of august/september 2023 and now i can't listen to it without reminiscing about the exact genre of anxiety i had at the time. this was like, 5-6 months ago mind you. and that complete time-collapse of nostalgia, well, it all just feels so daria-core...
