First + foremost!!
I must acknowledge that even *having* the opportunity to create margin in your life is a massive privilege, but if you have the capacity to do so - *do not* squander it.
I know I’m not the only one who’s fed the f**k up with our capitalist society that equates output + tangible achievement with success, that birthed ‘hustle culture’ and that turns our *basic needs* into a competition of things we must ‘win’ access to.
In her book ‘How to do nothing: resisting the attention economy’ Jenny Odell reminds us that simply tapping out of society is not the solution - she argues, and I agree, that we have a responsibility to each other to stay and participate.
BUT - we *can* choose *how* we participate. We can choose where our time and attention goes. We can choose what to engage with rather than thoughtlessly submitting. We can choose to occupy a space labelled as ‘other.’
Number 2 + 3 in particular are my small, personal rebellions, and I’d love to hear yours.
