Stop Over-Scheduling Your Joy: How to Create Space for Boredom and Presence

Do you feel anxious when your calendar has an open slot? In this episode, Blaze explores the modern trap of over-scheduling our lives—even our "free time"—and why we often avoid the very things that bring us joy, like boredom and stillness. Discover why boredom is actually a fertile ground for creativity and awe, and how to stop rushing through your "fun" activities just to check them off a list. Blaze shares personal strategies for reclaiming the first hour of her day, the power of doing things imperfectly, and how to distinguish between helpful structure and harmful saturation. Learn why your life doesn't need to be maximized to be meaningful, and how to give yourself permission to just be in the moment without a plan.
