Sometimes when I want to feel like I’m really doing something, but don’t actually have the time, mental energy, or focus to actually do the thing, I buy books about the thing. How many of you all do that, too? It's not the worst habit in the world - I still feel connected to whatever the thing is (genealogy - it's genealogy, y'all), and since I’m often buying reference material, when I’m ready to dig into a topic, I already have some of the resources I need.
