Y’all were so nice with my last piece I love y’all so much 🥺

Mental Crop Rotation

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.

I’ve been trying this out and it’s been quite helpful 🤗

Note to self: Let the system complicate itself. Increasing complexity is healthy. Initial complexity is a collapse risk.

This applies to everything – gardening, gaming groups, even religion. If you try to do everything you want to do at once, you will fail – the harvest will be lackluster; the game will fall apart; your connections to the gods and spirits will fill with static.

Take it slow. Start with something simple. When you have that down, add something else. Add things slowly and deliberately, in response to what you learn as you move along.

The breadth and depth you want will come with time, if you let it. Doing it all at once will only lead to burnout and failure.

Do y’all know where the phrase “eat the rich” comes from or do you just repeat it cause you heard it elsewhere?

It’s not a bad thing, I just saw someone say “we never said who would eat the rich” and realized a lot of y’all might not have heard the full quote

It’s from Rousseau and it’s “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich"

And, well, there’s a lot of people with nothing to eat…

People trying to pathologize like eating sweets and jerking off is wild. "I stopped doing this thing that feels good and I want more now ?? So this is an addiction and I have to keep avoiding it until the craving goes away" no you just want to enjoy things because you're a human being. Chocolate and porn and whatever aren't, like. Meth. It won't kill you to feel good. You don't have to be a medieval monk
