When Medium Feels Like a Job Is It Time To Quit?
No need to answer. I’ll work it out
I’ve been riding high on top of the waves recently, so am I in a little trough? I’m not sure. I woke up feeling kind of blah and I opened my phone to do my daily task of reading my favourite medium authors and then checking on my notifications and answering comments to people who were genuine.
This has just drained me and all I want to do is sleep. Everything just seems too overwhelming for me at the moment. I might be giving Keeley a break by taking Caelin for half a day but I think he is exhausting me. I think I’m just too old to put up with all of his oppositeness. If I say “don’t do that”, “don’t write on Nanna’s furniture”, guess what? He writes on Nanna’s furniture. I try reverse psychology sometimes but if I say write on Nanna’s furniture and if it’s fun, obviously he will do it. There has to be the fun element involved and I’m just so not up for fun at the moment.
All I could do successfully is yawn and sleep. I’m really sorry to everyone who reads my shite that I just can’t think of anything sensible to write. Is this what they call burnout or just fatigue? Or just damn well trying to do too much? I should be looking forward to the weekend. But I’m not. I can’t explain how weird that is for me.
I’m having lunch with girlfriends on Sunday which I’ve been looking forward to for weeks and now I’m just like can I be bothered. 😕 What’s wrong with me?
- Don’t bother about me. I’ll pull myself up by the bootstraps (is that what they say) even though I don’t have any boots or straps. Anyway thank you all for reading my – I don’t even know what to call it – ramblings.
