    Wondering what to do because decision paralysis.

    Assuming I was in the mood, have all the energy and mental focus I want I’d think about how to fix my home setup.

    Bonus points if I would understand everything perfectly and didnt have a need to learn all intricacies beforehand

        I’m always making big plans on my business trips about all the stuff I’ll do, when I’m back home
        Back home I usually just crash for 2-5 days and can’t do much anyway - and then work starts again to stress enough, because of all the postponing, to get me up again

        Not really a fun cycle…

    Start with a solid 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep! Then make myself a cup of coffee and finish it while it’s still hot while finishing my book! Then off to the library to get the next in the series and I pick up my dad for breakfast at a diner. Go home, and have a hot bath and start the next book. An afternoon quickie with my husband. Now I go to my sister’s house where our other sisters already are to make a puzzle. All the husbands and kids arrive but since my day is free and uninterrupted my parents are in charge of my baby while I cuddle my husband and we all play Jackbox until midnight .

    Id do nothing for as long as I could, only way for me to fight the burnout. Most weekends I can just about fit enough nothing time to soothe the tism enough get my necessary self and house upkeep chores done. Every time I get a 3 day weekend, I find myself productive as hell on the third day. Otherwise I need to catch up on my nothing.

    Just lost my job so I have this time. I want to travel a bit later, but until I can leave, I’m doing nothing at all. Years of fulltime work just killed off all social life, any motivation. Now that I’m finally free, I feel so dead inside that I just want to do absolutely nothing for a while.

      Been there done that! 10years in company, we got downsized, got thrown away like a trash. Took months to deal with emotions and set myself to do anything. In the end I realized that I was relying on job to be an anchor in my life that everything was revolving around. Losing that anchor forced me to search for a new one, more reliable and something that I can control and that makes me better.
      I started with cleaning my house, then deep cleaning shelves and such, then basement, etc. Got interested in working out, and started doing pushups and such. I learned that I was missing that - creating my own schedule, having goals of my own. It was scary at first, ngl. Trying to do small steps, very small sometimes, that improves your situation bit by bit is what I found helps me with being overwhelmed.

      Wish you all the best, I hope you recover soon and find better job soon :)

    Probably just set up my github page. I’ve been having some trouble with it.

    I’d probably lay on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling, beating myself up for not being more productive. It’s the ADHD way and there’s nothing you can do about it.
