a returning tradition I am semi-pleased with, thanks Arisia?
It used to be, when I was a bit more hale but still a massive procrastinator/artistically blocked that when I need to make a bunch of stock for an upcoming show I would do massive amounts of cleaning. That stopped, not only because of many fewer shows, but lacking the physical stamina for the endeavor (which also meant that the blocking piles of stuff that need to be cleared are even bigger.)
I am still significantly lacking in stamina, but have hit a decent rhythm today of 5 minutes clearing, 15 minutes doing computer work (mostly low-brain effort things like testerup (my biggest source of clickywork/microwork? revenue this year, it is in fact stupidly easy and not actually proper user testing. Just ... getting paid to play mobile games I, at least, would have been playing anyway. Yes, that is a referral link, but I'm just sharing the love in general, not campaigning.)
I hadn't really grasped the psychic weight my piles of stuff was inflicting -- it certainly isn't gone, but looking around now I can literally feel like I can take bigger breaths and my shoulders have lowered a touch.
(Still haven't found my most critical painting supplies, though. Might be a different balance of boxes etc to paintings than I was aiming for at this rate, because they aren't trivially replaceable locally or quickly or inexpensively.
We've decided to start on the 12 days of yule kind of ... half-way. Because we aren't ready for Christmas even though it is the 24th, and while my paganism is distinctly half-assed, half assed is better than no assed. Or something.
