Rant: 5 day work week- too much?
Anyone else feel like 5 day work weeks with 2 day weekend is not enough sometimes? Typing this on a Sunday night dreading tomorrow.
I am gone from home all day, get home from work after almost an hour drive, am drained from constant patient/coworker interaction (introverted but I cosplay extrovert for work).
I am exhausted and hardly have energy to make dinner and shower. Household tasks get neglected because if I add that on top of other things, I won’t be in bed till 11-12.
I don’t even work out anymore!!! I don’t remember the last time I went to the gym! Setting an awful example for patients!
Weekends go by in a blink! Sundays spent prepping for week ahead, hardly even relaxing. I know this is every job but I’ve seen other PT/PTAs discuss the burnout they have so I figured I’d join in.
Any help/suggestions?
