Comment on The worst feeling of my life:My vacation is ending tomorrow
blady_blah@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoDoesn’t matter. Still feels good to get stuff done that’s for you and not for somebody else. I’ve gotten old enough that I’d love doing gardening or fixing stuff around the house on my weekends. That shit’s for me, it makes my life better, not someone else’s.

While I see where you’re coming from, I need time to decompress and just do my own shit, so running the fam around and getting needed errands done was just more work vs actually refreshing my mental state
Burnout fucking sucks and getting recharge times stolen absolutely matters.

Oh no doubt. I’m not saying that I come home and jump into doing chores, I’m saying that doing constructive or productive stuff in your own life can have a good recharge feeling in it’s own way. I certainly come home and veg in front of the computer… but if I spend the whole weekend vegging in front of my computer I end up feeling MORE like shit than I did on Friday. A healthy combination of both leaves me feeling recharged and happy.
