I’m Not Lazy, I’m Overstimulated

I used to think I lacked discipline.
I’d start strong, then fizzle. I'd overthink everything. Procrastinate hard.
I’d blame myself for “not having energy.”

But I started to notice something else:

• I was already tired before the day began — not from work, but from noise

• My brain had no white space — it was tabs, notifications, constant decisions

• Even when I sat down to rest, I was absorbing — content, ideas, feeds

Then I took one weekend off all of it.

No socials. No “educational” podcasts. No health TikToks.
Just walking. Cooking. Stretching. Sleeping.

And something changed.

The brain fog cleared.
Not because I fixed my willpower.
Because I gave my system a break.

I wasn’t lazy. I was overstimulated.

You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need quiet.
Let the system reset itself — it knows how.
