In the crazy, busy, toxic environment, there is no way to survive if you're on the Internet 24/7, or if you constantly hangout with people, or if you're stuck with too much work, or if you're all three. Our minds will eventually get clouded which isn't gonna be healthy in the long run.
If you've heard of the phrase 'me time' and had tried to incorporate that into your schedule, well then that's good. However sometimes, that time alloted for you to hangout with yourself turns sour when you try to sneak in one homework or one round of that computer game. So it turns to be not 'me time' at all but 'me time plus a little distraction on the side'.
It's hard to stay away from musts and shalls because they're there to lure you and pull you. Okay, I'm not saying that we should totally ditch our obligations. What's there to say is that there's a fraction of the time (for example, a good 10 to 20 minutes) when you can stop and drop everything and do something you don't feel obligated doing, which involves less thinking. It will afford you more... space. If you're familiar with disk defragmenting, then let's take a metaphor in that. 'Me time' is something that will help you organize your thoughts so that you can function more efficiently as a person, by letting you feel less suffocated.
Eat alone! Spend a night drinking tea while relaxing music playing on the background, whatever floats your boat.
I was just giving myself a sermon right there.
