What have you done less of while following the political shit-show that was 2017?
Like any car crash, it’s hard to look away.
Hello there. Been a while.
If you’re like me, in the last year you spent way too much time reading about politics. Some more time spent reading about politics can be useful and educational. The amount I — and I suspect many of us — spent gawking at the disaster that has been the last year was probably unhealthy.
One of the things that suffered most in my life was the time I spent reading other things. More substantial, wide-ranging or thought-provoking things that, say, might spark new ideas or even motivate one to write something themselves. Case in point, you may notice the last week this site was updated. Mostly I stared at the burning wreckage.
But hey, new year, fresh start and all that.
What have you spent less time doing than you used to, now that the world is a never-ending political circus you can’t stop watching and talking about?
