Readit NewsI really struggle with energy levels. I work hard at my job and I find myself unable to work effectively on the things I want to do after work and on my weekends. I waste a lot of time.
I've been in this holding pattern for years and I mostly cope by telling myself that I still have more time.
But recently realized my time is still passing. I'm trying not to fall into the mid-life crisis traps, doing some dramatic rash stuff because of this. But I wish I could find a way to break this holding pattern and do the work I want to do.
It's challenging. I hear about people who died early with super tragic cancer or heart attacks really young and I worry like hell that could be me without ever even starting the stuff I want to accomplish.
- I was overweight, so I started eating a healthier diet and exercising. I also tried cutting out some common food allergens and found that a couple of them were causing some consistent brain-fog issues.
- I started to ease off working quite as hard as I had been. For example, keeping my work time to while I was at work, padding in a little extra time in project timelines for some extra breathing room, and taking a lunch break just for myself. While at lunch I would read, or take a Coursera class ,go for a walk, or something else to get myself into a better mood.
- YMMV, but I did not find it helpful (from a mental health POV) to try to force accountability on the things I wanted to do by telling friends or family about them - that just increased my levels of stress.
Best of luck!

spirituality (meditation, reading, associating with like-minded practitioners, listening to talks by advanced practitioners)
spending time with family
stopping caring so much about work outcomes and just focusing on giving a best reasonable effort
Sleep
Right diet
No tiktok, disabled shorts on YouTube (just click through them and say not interested), minimal insta, no Facebook or snap account
Get your lives dialed in folks, it only gets harder.
its very simple - rates are higher, they are going higher still, and they are going to stay high
homes will be a minimum 20% cheaper in 18 months
the Fed is completely focused on reducing asset prices, and they have the tools to produce the outcome they want
Personally I prefer it as it helps me make more of a connection with the person/people I'm speaking with, and keeps me more engaged.
Anyway, it's beside the point. Elon OWNS twitter. Do you all understand what ownership means? Like how you own a phone? If he wants to smash his new toy into the ground and break it that's his prerogative. Employees need to stop deluding themselves that any part of a business belongs to them because they were part of the process in creating it. The salary you are paid is the price for control of everything you contribute to a company.
If you hate that idea, much like I do myself, you should start your own business.
In the end, he bought Twitter without being forced to, because he probably saw he was going to lose in court if he kept up with trying to get out of his binding agreement.
This is why a person needs to understand the contracts they sign. If you don't have an out, you can't change your mind. If you can just change your mind to get out of a binding contract, then it's not a binding contract.
Separately, I'm not making any comments about Twitter employees and their claims against the business, that's a completely separate topic.
So now he is supposed to keep dumping money into the burning dumpster fire that is twitter?

For reference I had a friend whose hearing aids were doing this 15-20 years ago. He was able to have a conversation just fine in a crowded bar, whereas I couldn’t hear a thing over the din of background conversation.
