    Attempting to do anything resembling looking for a job. I quit on March 3rd, the day before my birthday, after over 12 years working with/for/against my dad, and I just haven't done anything at all regarding trying to find a new one. Not that I have any clue how my skillset will translate to a new job. And I haven't really tried to figure it out either. Been pretty damn lost and feeling the full effects of 12 years of burnout.

    He also owes me a lot of money in back salary and expenses (over six figures), and I've been putting off tabulating all that and putting together a payment plan. Just thinking about it makes me head hurt...so I don't.

    I also have like 5 different self-help books I've partially started reading to try to get me moving in various directions.

    5 self help books will all likely tell you at one point that doing is better then learning by book

    Typical Getting Things Done mantra is to reduce your multi stream thinking into one thread process.

    There are different camps for/against to-do lists but the central thing to them is to find your own way to organize them and to provide a way to offload competing threads/tasks from other matters so you can focus on one task.

    Quarantine life is also supposed to be the fix-up optimize life. F that, we all overworked. If you don't allow yourself to destress your recovery will take longer.

    If anything, this is your time to find what provide meaning outside work to give meaning while working.

    Good luck and with all of that, try not to dull your edge too much.

    y ∝ 1/x

    x = procrastination
    y = workload

    x=z

    z=posting on Clutchfans

    I must have been exaggerating then because I definitely care even less today.
