Starting Sabbath
=================

Usually after the 6th day of consecutive work, I feel drained.
I hate the feeling of being drained and what it does to me: stay in bed longer, watching YouTube videos.
It just becomes easier to tell myself that I deserve this cheap form of rest.
Ironically, being drained has a negative effect on my sleep time and quality, as I fall into bad, lazy patterns.

So instead of staying in bed and complaining, let's do something against the draining downward spiral: I'll take a page out of the Jewish book and adopt ancient deliberate decompression: Sabbath.
Keep it simple: starting with the Friday communal prayer at noon, I'll intentionally only do things that give me energy:

- Meditating
- Taking walks
- Drawing
- Reading up on new tech
- Programming hobby projects
- Household chores
- Meeting friends
- Cooking
- Stretching/yoga

And for everything else: just don't do it.
