Yes, i feel this too. I’ve been growing food this summer and wow does it feel good to have my hands in soil and not on a keyboard. I am exhausted with trying to keep up with all the content i’m subscribed to; like, it’s all amazing stuff but my tomatoes need water and I need to dig a hole for an apple tree!
As a writer I often worry about adding to the excess of content but I also really value being able to express my perspective, feelings, and observations in words. But I do think it helps so much to have a balance and engaging with the world, observing nature, creating can allow me to process and contemplate some of the content I encounter and also help me to feel a little more grounded when my busy brain is going all the time.
I'm with you: writing is how I process and I publish most of what I write, not because I want it to be content for the machine, but just because I love this process of interaction that comes with publishing a blog.

More food, less content ;) I'm down.
