in between a 9/5 work schedule and weekends where I’ve traveled either by plane or by car every weekend, I’ve found myself extremely burnt out and overstimulated. Remedying this throughout the week by actively asking for space from friends on weeknights and making an effort to reclaim my weekend so I can be comfortable again
Not necessarily a rec, more a vent about a conundrum i come to every weekend that i decide to stay in; i could do something that i could only do on a weekend because then it’s 5 days of prison following, or i could not do anything for 2 and a half days, and delve into my lil hobbies
back when i basically was only doing things on weekends, i think it subconsciously made me feel like… weekdays are ONLY work and weekends are only fun. so then the majority of my week was Work Days. which is technically true still but planning things on weeknights (both solo stuff like a class or self-care thing, and social things) make me feel like i’m reclaiming the free time i do have on my weekdays lol. rather than just going home and blanking out. my job is stressful so i def do need days to just do that but since i started intentionally making plans throughout the week instead of just fri-sun it has made a difference for feeling like my life is less absorbed by my job
