I hadn’t played the piano in months, but decided to have a solo jam session where I let myself play whatever felt good to play, and wow was that nice! Some of the time I played existing songs, but most of the time I flowed from chord to chord and jumped around the octaves.
Recently I acquired a drawing tablet, I spent some time learning Krita and drew some things, it was cathartic and very fun at the same time.
I don’t think I let myself just play around very much, nor spend much time doing art things that I enjoy. I would like to change that, and I will, but I’m not explicitly committing to doing that at the moment (too many other things to do).
Art is fun, playing is necessary, and human being not human doing :)
At the very least, in addition to such things being fun, they do from a purely productivity focused lens, assist with keeping burnout away (which is good, screw burnout!).
