What to do tonight, when you're unsure at work

You know that feeling. The clock is ticking down, and you're just sitting there, staring at your screen. The silence in the room feels thick, like you should be doing something, but you're not sure what.

The weight of an empty evening

It's not about being lazy. It's more like your brain has run out of suggestions. You've already thought about the usual things, and none of them seem to click.You scroll through your phone for a minute, but that just makes it worse. It feels like everyone else has their plans figured out.

Letting something else decide

I remember one evening, I just wrote down a few simple ideas on scraps of paper. Nothing grand. Just things I could physically do without overthinking.It felt a bit silly at first. But there was a strange relief in handing the choice over to chance. It took the pressure off me to make the 'right' decision.The point wasn't to find the perfect activity. It was just to get moving, to break the cycle of sitting there in that indecisive fog.

A quiet shift

Whatever the paper said, I just did it. No second-guessing.

Not a solution, just a nudge

It didn't solve my deeper uncertainty. But it got me out of my chair and into the evening.
