Longstorming

Article: Do you find the 21st century overstimulating? Try 'longstorming'

This caught my eye, I really enjoy the sentiment. The concept strikes a chord with me, I feel like I had a touch of longstorming during my springtime trip to the Adirondacks. Being out in the woods wonderfully disconnected from the world, it was such a great time to contemplate where my life is at the moment, and options ahead. I should really try to search out spaces like this closer to home to disconnect and take a longer view. I fell off the proverbial hiking horse after the trip, time to get back out there. Work has been quite busy; while quite rewarding it's also been quite draining, and is consuming most of my creative energy. How long do I want to keep doing this?

This also makes me take pause and think about being more intentional about fostering good hikes in the woods. The temptation to bring extra electronics is always there, but I really think there's something to properly unplugging for a bit while in the woods.

Anyway this has gotten long, tldr this is worth a read.
