Something I've tweeted about in the past but that is coming to mind as I look at people being concerned with "burn out" is how often it is misattributed to fatigue from overworking. While chronic overworking can be a problem, I believe most issues with "burn out" stem from degrading morale within an organization. A key way to tell is if you take a bunch of time off, come back to work, and instantly get the feeling back. You're not fatigued; you're disillusioned with your current situation.
The neurodivergent ick when you realize mid-convo that correcting them is pointless because they'd need self-awareness and emotional intelligence to even process that they're wrong.
Unpopular to say but you’ve been giving yourself grace every day the last ten years, and it’s became a road block for you actually doing something to improve
Be kind with yourself, but also be real
Time to make a move and get aligned
Reminder for all young parents:
You only get:
- 1 Summer with your baby
- 3 with your toddler
- 9 with your child
- 5 with your teenager
This time is precious. Don’t rush it.
Gentle reminder:
For every $100 you reduce in monthly expenses, you need to save $30,000 LESS for retirement (according to the 4% rule)
100/month in expenses = $1,200/year
To generate $1,200/year from a portfolio: $30,000
I was feeling very sad and down when I woke up this morning but I realized I just needed an attitude adjustment. I get to see the first light and drink my coffee watching the birds eat fruit from the tree in my yard.
