Hey! If there is something to lose yourself in and it's good for you, then when else are we going to get this inspiration back?
I build all sorts of stuff at my desk, random minutes I get, or those melancholic Tuesday evenings.
There is this Japanese company I like, BGMLife[1]—local artsy craft stores carry these—where you can put tiny stickers on a canvas, creating whole scenes of a packed restaurant or a quiet library!
