Definitely in moderation. Too much alone time…*twitches*

I completely agree. And don’t think it is just you, Laura, it is a societal addiction. I have to admit, I do get so busy doing work, school, friends, fun and other stuff ALL THE TIME that I get burnt out every few months. And i just want to spend an entire weekend AT HOME, with a book or a trashy TV show or just napping. I mean, I love seeing my friends, and since school takes up so much time, I feel like i have to play with my friends whenever possible. But sometimes, I think we all just need some alone time, to hang out quietly in our house, cooking or cleaning or wandering around or whatever. Alone time (in moderation) is vital, I think….

Wow, Laura. My thoughts to a T. While I don’t have that many social organizations taking my time, I keep wishing I could be a kid again. I was in such a hurry to grow up, and for what? To be busy all the time and feel guilty when I’m not. I watch a movie these days, and I get pangs of regret for the time wasted because I think I should have been packing a box or working. That’s a problem when you work from home – any time you’re not working, you’re wondering how much money you could have made. But sometimes you just have to force yourself to relax. The only way for me to do that and not find something else to do like yard work, cleaning, packing, etc. is if I sit down with a favorite book, a video game, or a movie. Try it. Just make yourself sit down and veg out with a book for an hour or two…and your dog nearby. It’ll feel good. =)
