Go for a walk

Published: March 11, 2026

It happens pretty often that I'm in a space where it's hard to get out of. There is work to be done but I just feel drained and foggy. This especially happens when there's a lot of stuff to do but there are no deadlines I can really adhere to. It's hard to get back on track in situations like these sometimes.

One thing I frequently forget but almost always helps: Go for a walk. A short walk sometimes doesn't cut it so I try to be outside for at least half an our. At least during that time, the fog lifts for me and my thoughts and motivation come back. Things get clearer if you see the world moving around you. It really helps if the sun is out, too.

I don't know if this works for you but it's worth a try if you feel the same way. Maybe you already have a much better solution (if you do, I'd love to hear about it). For now, this is just a reminder for me to just go for a walk.
