Brain is still like sludge today. Finishing tasks has been hard this past week - everything takes twice or thrice as long - and even yesterday I couldn't get to sleep before 2am, so I was "off" again this morning.
Off for a wee walk to try working off the frayed nerves, and then hopefully I can catch up today on four overdue tasks.
The trick is not being extra despondent for being so behind. Being angry with myself for being depressed won't help me to get ahead in workflow again.
Brains suck.
Can you take a day or two to reset?
I think I definitely need it. I'm still behind, but trying to catch up is keeping me frozen.
Just accepting that this last weekend was lost and rebooting workflow for Patreon and BookTube this weekend is wisest.
Then I can focus on newsletter work around classes and freelance editing/writing for the next few days, and plan for next week, when I'll finally have the difficult talk with my agent and be able start the hard work of figuring out what comes next.
Thanks for the nudge. 💛
Be kind to yourself, kopeng. Please. 💜
Be gentle with yourself and take care.
@MLClark Your brain needs rest. That could be much of your problem . I had to find the right height for my head so I wouldn’t get congested. I count backwards from 99 by 3s. Between each number I think “release” and “relax” . That is enough to divert my mind from my problems and some where between 99 and 69 I fall asleep!
