RE: Think With Caffeine #77: Preventing Burnout

in Rant, Complain, Talk3 years ago

I described my thoughts as a washing machine today, and again I know exactly what you are talking about. Even though my burnouts lead to depression and procrastination.

I have no clue how to wrap my mind around one thing, or to focus on one particular topic. I'm all over. In the end I have to learn to accept it, isn't it just our society judging all of it and forcing us to want more, faster and better and to be an expert in one field.

I'm an expert in not being an expert 😂.

Anyways, how to prevent a burnout? I guess accepting ourselves might be a good step.

Well, that's a start 😄 I had some thoughts after writing this, a schedule is also another good start to prevent it. I swear, my day lately has been a series of " I do whatever I want" sounds like a deal for some but for me, it was a living hell that drives me nearly to burnout.

😆 hear you, same here. I just thought about a schedule myself. I need to come up with one. Tried it with getting up early but failed 😂 .
I'm a night owl, that makes it even harder. It also makes it hard that I never pursued a "normal" job with "normal" hours. Also I don't really have a goal per se. I know what I don't want but not what I want. Well a remote job would be nice but no clue how and what lol.
Maybe I take it as a challenge. Let's say 4 weeks from now I will make a post, how it went, my self development lol.

I hear ya being a night owl. I literally function only from 10 PM to 3 AM. It's mostly because I hate noisy places and I associate morning with noise. My ideal time is sleeping at 9PM and wake up at 3AM. But that would require me to spend the day out and work from cafes. That way I normally go back home tired and all I wanna do is sleep. But lately, due to the muslim fasting month, I can't do it since most cafes are open only from afternoon to 10PM or something. Hoping it's over soon so I can visit the cafe in the normal hours again.

At least it is over at one time right?

My routine has always been build around my dogs. I like going to bed at 0300 and wake up around 1000-1100. I took care of my dogs till 1600 and when working went to work at 1700 and came home around midnight.

Gosh, now Joy is totally spoiled with me being home 24/7. He never knew anything else since we adopted him and he is terribly attached to me. I never can do a "normal" job😂
