Love this! I do try and slow down some days and just allow duvet days where I read in bed all day or a combo of that and scrolling and cuddling with the cat. Sometimes my brain is just exhausted from all the productivity I try and squeeze in in the week so it is important to relax. 🫶🏻 Housework and life admin is never ending!
My favourite form of lollygagging is drinking a few cups of espresso in the morning while leisurely reading what has come into my inbox or on my social media feeds. Years ago I used to really enjoy reading a paper newspaper, but those days have sadly faded, as papers are no longer what they used to be. I think the thing that is most different in my 60s, something you also pointed out in the post, is the reduction of stress. I wish I would have focused more on stress reduction when I was younger, even with the "busyness" of raising a family. As parents, my wife and I struggled getting on the same page.

Sometimes we’re so on the same page it’s eerie. I’ve got something queued to publish next week on self care.
Looking forward to it!
