OK, with this post I believe I'm finally going to be up to date and current with my blog. I'm feeling better after getting to sleep in a bit and play a bit and set up my shrine room. Being super exhausted makes everything else more difficult because it's like you have blinders on, you're in tunnel vision, and even if you know you should be thinking more holistically or not stressing out about X or Y thing that happened, you don't have the mental agility to do so. It's a negative downward spiral, bad decisions leading to further bad decisions, and the overwork leading to working inefficiently which leads to more overwork.
The only solution I can think of is drastic simplification. I need to be very aware of what the bottom line most necessary things are, and eliminate all the rest from my to do lists, for now. And probably also move them out of the way, physically, if possible so they are not constantly reminding me that they need to get done. I guess I'll try that and see if it helps at all, allows me a bit more time to rest. With that, I probably also need to block out recharge time in my life, so I don't let work creep into my whole day.
And finally, I need to make sure my recharge time is actually recharging me. Not all R&R is created equal. I need to figure out what it means for something to be high quality rest. What does that actually mean? I don't have the answers, but I guess I need to figure it out somehow. I'll do what I always do: research to find the best information I can, (in a time limited way) and then start testing the suggestions to see what actually works.
Not much more to report now. We'll see how the coming week goes.
