I had a similar tired feeling the past weeks, because of overwork and deadlines. But I managed to remedy that with taking leave for the past few Fridays now and just chilling at home, doing some housework every now and then.
Can't imagine not having many thoughts on a regular basis. My mind is usually overflowing with thoughts. What I like to do to clear my mind is go on random weekend trips to the interior and just enjoy nature and the outdoors. Sitting beside a creek on that trip with some rum in my glass also helps in that case.
When I write I like to let my thoughts flow and then try to immediately type whatever comes to my mind. I feel like the piece is more natural and personal that way and makes for some interesting content sometimes.
I think that part of the problem is that a lot of what we learn is completely useless
There is a systematic problem with how most of us are brought up and the environment and cultures we live in. This is why self-education is so important. And also sharing knowledge with others.
I am jealous. I was meant to take leave this month too as I have so many hours in my bank, but didn't have a chance.
You sound like an Australian. Bundaberg Rum would be the rum of choice. :)
I agree. We seem encouraged to learn what we are told and then stop learning once we aren't forced anymore - in my opinion, after school is when learning should start.
I'm actually considering taking every Friday off until the end of the year, as I've build up a lot of extra hours as well. Even though we've been working from home for the most part of the last 6 months, the stress of the virus situation is probably also getting to me. So work is fully to blame.
Lol, I have an Australian friend who said they like outdoors and drinking, so you may be on to something. I'm from Suriname. We have clear black water creeks further into our rain-forest-like interior, where people have vacation houses and take trips on their time of to blow of steam and be one with nature.
I usually did that with a fairly large group of friends, because that's more fun, but then corona came.
