Struggling with Getting Work Done
:/ It’s midday, and I’ve maybe opened 2 emails to get some small tasks out the way.
Usually I’m very motivated at work and pushing to get things done, but I’ve been struggling like crazy the past month or so. I constantly find myself using any excuse to not actually do my work or push it to the last minute. Have also made a habit of leaving the office for any little inconvenience
I’ve dealt with some fatigue before, usually take a week off. Come back, all good. But it’s been nearly 5 weeks of putting in the bare minimum - and it’s starting to show across my team / staff.
I’ve gotta get out this funk, but I’m struggling with actually opening up my computer and doing the work.
Not sure if this is the right sub, but would appreciate any advice for anyone who has dealt with this before … thank you guys 🙏
