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

@taylorlorenz On days like these, I try to only do stuff that my brain wants to do. Sometimes it's even productive.

@taylorlorenz I usually start doing timed pomodoros but less and less time working until I can manage. Like sometimes it's 10 minutes and then rest for 10. But it's something!

@taylorlorenz I have no useful suggestions but I feel your pain and hope you get over this.

@taylorlorenz Call it a day and try again tomorrow

@chrisnelder @taylorlorenz Hearing Angine de Poitrine for the first time and then listening to music vloggers talk about it has given me a weird energy recently, I think from witnessing something new.

@taylorlorenz How about a creative activity, one in which you lose track of time, like sketching, painting, knitting, crochet, etc.

@taylorlorenz rest a little bit, take a break

@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.

@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.
