Ordering socks during movie night, answering DMs in the carpool line…sound familiar?
When did having fun start feeling like another task to manage? This week, Nikki and Damaris dig into why adult life feels so fast—and how constant productivity, small-business demands, and technology have trained us to fill every spare minute.
They talk about what this looks like in real life: planning ahead just leads to adding more to the list and trying to “finish everything” before relaxing never actually works.
Nikki shares how she’s experimenting with hard work cutoffs and leaving her phone in another room, while Damaris walks through how structured nights (free nights, friend nights, a midweek date night) help lower stress and make space for actual rest.
And finally, they make a case for practicing a little boredom. Walks without earbuds, sitting through a kids’ show without scrolling, moments of quiet to check in with yourself.
Because it’s hard to create a life that feels joyful if you’re always too busy to notice what actually brings you joy.
