Oooo burnout is here. Mmm, and it still burns. Fighting it off has been a strain. Today is a “rest day” which means no exercise and minimal eats. Between that and a healthy sleep last night, mood and sharpness are up. So, in a desire to fend of burnout and make some changes for the positive, I’m allocating resources to making a plan.

First step, where is the burnout felt? It’s the whole routine. I hate my low status and pay at work. Hate, my reliance on the “system”, a system that has never given me my worth. On top of which, my weekends are no longer rejuvenating. No enough so to make the hassle of the work week worthwhile. So for the past few months, feeling goddamned drained.

So, how can we allocate efforts so that needs are met and we accrue a net positive? Good question. It’s a real thinker.

Been through this cycle lots before. Tried to out think it plenty of times before. So what can be done differently? Again, thinker.

We’re I to venture a guess, you know, as though you were holding a knife to my throat; that guess would be my perspective is off. It’s too focused on short term gains/losses. Which is fine given the situation is short term. But the changes in looking to make sure longer term, longer lasting.

So, what? What have we got so far?Lessons 1) Stop trying to do it all myself. 2) Endure shorter term strains for longer term gains. 3) Utilize the people around me better.

Lessons three will be the toughest. I’m not known for my communication skills, at least, not outside of artistic practices. God dammit if I’m not gonna try, though.
