I love to watch anime. And there are a few certain directors whose works I really like such as– Makoto Shinkai, Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Hosoda, Satoshi Kon. The problem was— I used to feel that I had to watch ALL of their movies or other contents and I set it as my goal. I didn't even care whether I was enjoying the movie or not, I just had to finish one and tick off the box. Thus I watched all of Makoto Shinkai's works in a go and burned myself out. I didn't do so with the other directors' works but surely suffered for the list of unwatched movies and not ticking the unchecked boxes. Later I realized the problem with such mindset and fixed it. Hobby is no such thing you have to stress yourself out for. Well, that's the reason it's hobby; silly meh.
I used to go through the same problem with my watch-later movie or anime list and to-be-read books. I never knew this was a common problem. The video mentioned above totally speaks out my realization.
That's all for today. Shortest blog I've written so far. Now that I think of it, blogging is actually my hobby but I've been stressing myself to write long, informative and polished blogs. Old habits die hard ;-; .
Take care! 😀
