If this is beyond reach right now, then being a creature of habit will help keep you sane and take the stress out of keeping an worry about everything. For example, work a scheduled set of hours that best fit your biorhythms, make a checklist for setup and tear down so this becomes rote, have consistent messaging in your ads to reduce the number of idiots you have to deal with. Remember, just making small incremental changes each week or month will soon add up and not overburden you with stress.
I think the pandemic has exasperated hobby life in terms of manners, stress, patience, simple decency. Just look at the ISO section these days, your lucky to see one more than 2 lines.
Me Avery, the way you describe yourself is common in many folks, I confess to being the same way. What I have learned is that I need to work on getting myself out and about, eg running club, bike club, yoga, fitness groups to have some decent personal relationships and company. But there’s also days I’ll happily sit in the yard and read a book and could not care less about anyone or anything (maybe some nice food).
Even in the real world who wants to hang with their coworkers all the time, geez we just end up talking shop the whole damn time.
Thank you for the posts Avery, it’s nice to see some thought provoking posts. PS - Green.
