Might I make a simple suggestion?
Do what I do when it all gets too much.
Turn the computer *off.*
Go out.
See a movie.
Make love to your spouse/significant other.
Drink wine.
Drink coffee.
Go for walks.
Cook.
Spend money.
Make money.
Take pictures.
Be *in* pictures.
Sleep in.
Read. (*Not* text on a computer screen.)
You get the idea.
*****
The List suffers from the same problem as any other computer-mediated
experience: sometimes there's just way too much information coming at us, and
it becomes abrasive and annoying. Tolerance drops. Sensitivity rises.
Tempers flare.
Leave the List for a few days, pet the dog, watch the sunsets or the rain,
phone your friends, hang out at a local cafe or bar. Get away from the
keyboard and screen. The List will still be there when you come back. Honest.
You might even enjoy it more.
