Every few weeks, the feeling of immense isolation is something that I consistently felt in the past, like clockwork, and this particular Saturday was no different.
I definitely think you're right about the seasons, Andriy. It's a much more sensible and sustainable way to go about life. It feels like it's one of those life skills that should be taught in schools, among plenty of other stuff.
And the thing is, by "sustainable," I don't necessarily mean balanced or equalised or even stable. I think we experience life best when we ride the high peaks and low troughs of whatever we're doing, especially when it comes to work. Like you said, you have seasons where you want to go all-in on work followed by seasonal rest periods. This is what I like so much about the idea of a seasonal approach to work. It allows for these peaks and troughs—and has a much longer time horizon.
yep! is this how you approach things now as well? I also wonder how my approach will change if/when I have kids, because having these "seasons" is easy in a more singular life, but with family personal priorities definitely change!
