I am so tired of seeing those “aesthetic” meal prep videos where someone spends six hours on a Sunday assembling neon-colored Tupperware containers filled with organic quinoa and overpriced microgreens.

I was sitting at my desk last Tuesday, staring at a desktop screen so cluttered with random screenshots and “final_v2” files that I actually felt a physical tightness in my chest.

I remember sitting at my kitchen table three years ago, surrounded by half-empty coffee mugs and a mountain of printed resumes, feeling like I was shouting into a void.

I used to stare at those hyper-aesthetic “productivity porn” videos on TikTok—you know the ones, where people have these perfectly color-coded digital calendars that look more like pieces of art than actual schedules.
