Burnout has occurred. It crept up on me over a couple of months.
It's multiple things that have added up, work, money, home (keeping house - tidying up etc), crappy weather. So I've decided to rest, recuperate (hibernate?).
Really I should be looking as this as an opportunity. Something isn't working in my life!
So describe the problem:
Working late = makes me tired
Come home late = too tired to tidy house
No cleaning = compounding mess
Massive clean up on weekends = less time to relax and catch up on rest
Less rest time = more tired
This becomes cyclical with less and less time to rest.
So identify the actual problem(s) from this:
Working late
Too much stuff to clean in house
Now I just need to work out how to fix it.
1. Working late - we're a bit hectic at the moment, this will calm down over the next couple of weeks. Taking regular breaks will help as well.
2. Too much stuff - we're in the process of reinventing our lives as we are becoming parents. For us this means clearing out a lot of old junk (think an entire rooms worth!) and giving ourselves new wants/needs. Like millions of nappies!
Then implement.
Easier said than done I guess. But let's see how it goes.
