I think we often forget to prioritize ourselves outside of our work and family commitments. This week, try being more selfish than usual. Say no more often than you normally would. Make an impulse buy. And so on.
Making yourself a priority is often seen as a negative. But if you’ve spent months or years focusing on family and hobbies, it’s a situation where you can lose your own identity.
When I tried this, one thing that surprised me was to avoid making hobbies a priority. Your hobbies are a bit like a second job. It wasn’t until I stopped spending all of my free time hacking on Lisp that I was able to relax.
Some food for thought. The main point is to do what makes you happy this week, and avoid what you wish would make you happy.
