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

@taylorlorenz same for me lots of these days. The only thing that ever seems to work for me is going for a walk and getting some fresh air. Nothing rigorous, just chill.

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

@taylorlorenz Take a nap.

[nirak@carhenge.club]

@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!

[ianmoore3000@mastodon.ie]

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

[ithoughtisawa2@infosec.exchange]

@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

[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.

[viss@mastodon.social]

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

@taylorlorenz

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.
