it feels like we have no energy lately, only really badly no energy, because we have so little free time

and we have what most people would probably consider plenty of free time but i think we just need more of it than others

@Felthry I think there's a real thing where some people just have fewer outs of effective work than others, and a flat 40h work-week takes much more of some people's time than others

@lioness what can we do about it because we really can't function like this much longer

@Felthry do you have vacation time? personally I never even considered it, I figured I was going to need all my pto for doctors' appointments & stuff, but it probably would have helped

other than that, what I did was get paid 2x or more what I needed to survive, and alternate a year or two of work with a year or two of being burned out at home. I'm trying part time tutoring stuff now, and maybe with working fewer hours per week it'll be more sustainable?

@lioness not enough of it

at this point i feel like we need several weeks off, and to make it sustainable fewer hours per week
