Burnout

 

If I am going to be honest, as I relax at the cottage, this is exactly what I needed. Have nothing to do. As I continue to shy away from writing anything of real substance on here, it is pretty clear that some of my challenge of getting my career back on track or launching things like the site or podcast has to do with burnout.

It feels like years of not recognizing how my brain works and pushing myself to be normal have led to a sustained burnout. One where I largely succeed at just getting through the day and doing what needs to be done as a dad and husband. But the actual energy to do something exciting or fresh is very minimal. Most nights arrive with me absolutely depleted. Not too many spoons in the daily cup at the moment.
