I am finding my executive functioning is quite low at the moment due to quite a few challenges at the same time and the limited light. A lot of my forms of relaxation require good light for my vision to be good enough. Each week at work ( I do a maximum of 4 days) feels a challenge at the moment, so I try to celebrate a week achieved at a time.
I try to find positives in nature that is mostly on the decline at this time of year. My positive for this week is the smell of damp leaves.
Does anyone else find this time of year difficult?
I enjoy reading people's funny experiences on here, but they are sadly lacking at the moment.
I hate how dark it is in winter. I've ordered a 5200 lumen floodlight for my living room and am waiting for it to arrive as I am so sick of living in semi-darkness. I already upgraded all my bulbs to the maximum brightness the main fittings can take, but have to give up on doing anything after 4pm as there isn't enough light to see by. Lamps are pathetic and weak in how much light they provide, barely with bothering with. Sometimes even a problem at midday despite having floor to ceiling windows due to the thick cloud cover this time of year... Cars driving past with headlights on. It's so depressing and makes it difficult to function.
Yes, I've changed the bulb in the living room up to a 100 watt one recently
Yes, I'm able to do that now with the 100 watt bulb in the main fitting whereas it was frustratingly too dim before to do that really.
I changed the bulbs years ago to the brightest the fittings will take but it's still basically dark. Just got my new light and it's giving off more light than all the main bulbs combined. I can read without having to shine a lamp directly onto the page!
