I have a bookshelf in my bedroom specifically for stuff I want to read right now and it's overflowing. -GB

"Recommendations are time violence" is so relatable. I have many long lists of everything I'd like to read/play/watch/do. I have to be firm with myself that the lists are not TODOs but simple Reminders of things that sounded cool in case I have some time to fill. I have no obligation to them and delete them if they stop being helpful.
