Since last summer, I have been having trouble starting things. This happened with books. It happened with music. It happened with TV shows. I ended up rewatching and relistening to the same things. My spotify wrapped podcast list is a monument to the harrowing amount of minutes of true crime and politics adjacent series’ with back catalogues I binged in the back half of the year.

I was hoping, when I started the new year by completing a book in a day that things were turning around. But since then, I’ve checked three things out of the library that expired before I made progress in them.

When the last of them expired, I looked at my waiting list queue and I made a decision. I’m only going to check out one thing at a time and I’m going to try and make a habit of listening to audiobooks when I cook. So, we’ll see if that is any help to getting me out of this slump.
