Having one of those days where I'm so tired and burned out I can't get anything done.

@taylorlorenz rest a little bit, take a break

[jalefkowit@vmst.io]

@taylorlorenz I feel like there are a lot of us in this boat these days. We should start a club

[paulditz@todon.eu]

@taylorlorenz Honestly, my best advice is to rest and give yourself huge heaps of compassion. The work will be there tomorrow and you can only do so much.

[paulrosen@hachyderm.io]

@taylorlorenz Take a walk and don't necessarily think about anything, but don't shut out thoughts either.

@taylorlorenz I've had chugging a couple pints of water help a ton if im just dragging like that

This is all I've got for dealing with those feelings:

Watch nature videos?
Take a walk?
Find a portal to an alternate universe?

Also this essay continues to be relevant.

"The world as we know it is ending. Why are we still at work?: From the pandemic to climate change, Americans are still expected to work no matter what happens"

The world as we know it is ending. Why are we still at work?

American work culture has to adapt to our age of constant crisis.

[mausmalone@mastodon.social]

@chrisnelder @taylorlorenz seriously - set aside time for not-work and dedicate your attention to listening to a whole album.

[chrisnelder@mastodon.energy]

@mausmalone @taylorlorenz Having grown up in the era of vinyl, I still do!

@taylorlorenz
I hear ya. I feel that way ALL the time. I need to mentally get into a non-"world" space where I don't think about what is happening in the online and current physical world.

Right now I'm watching a series of music and dance videos I assembled.
It's called "Dancing for Doug" Here's a link. Shorts & nothing longer then 6 minutes. Check it out.

@taylorlorenz call the day a wash. Go for a long walk. Stare at the flowers and birds.

[drsaucy@sfba.social]

@taylorlorenz Orgasm (or two)!

[d_reno@mastodon.social]

@taylorlorenz it's important to get outside every day and breathe in fresh air.
