[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the camp of used to work FT in high earning prestigious job and now am taking time off and working very part time. This all started about 6 months before the quarantine. Honestly I have never learned so much in my adult life. I listen to books constantly, exercise daily and generally am living my best life. Solving problems at work was stimulating and I liked my community, but it definitely didn’t satisfy my intellectual needs like reading difficult books with out all the noise does. It’s amazing when you stop having to unwind with trash tv or other things and you can just enjoy a substantive life. I don’t even really do social media or other wastes of time. It’s great!

Who forced you to watch trash TV and go on social media and not read books while working? It sounds like you were burnt out which is why you made those poor choices. I work and unwind by reading and hiking and gardening and with family. You can do those things whether or not you work, just that you have more time to do them if you don’t have a job or other responsibilities.[/quote]

Yes, work causes burn out -especially jobs that require a lot of you intellectually. But congrats for being super mom! You seem like a fun friend, too! [/quote]
