I don’t think I’m lazy. I think I’m just overstimulated

For a long time I told myself I lacked discipline.

But when I actually pay attention, it’s not that I don’t want to do things. It’s that my brain feels fried before I even start.

Constant notifications. Constant scrolling. Constant input. By the time it’s quiet enough to focus, I’m already drained.

It looks like laziness from the outside. It feels like overload on the inside.

I’m starting to wonder how many of us are judging ourselves for being tired in an environment that never turns off
