I'm going crazy

[darkling_glory]

I have two months off before I start teaching again. I thought that the time off would be awesome. I'd double down on regular job and really focus on that.

Except, I'm turning into lump. A lump with ADD. I can't concentrate on anything, I don't get anything done in a timely manner, I'm losing it.

I've started 5 books in the last month and not finished any of them. I stopped meal planning. I stopped working out.

What's wrong with me? It's like I'm not super slammed so I've become this awful slacker.

Help me!

"Awful slacker"?? WTF is that supposed to mean??

Lol, really though maybe pick one thing to put some effort into and get back in the swing of things.

I would pick meal planning from that list because you can get both financial and health benefits from it.

I am the same way. I do much better in a super busy/structured environment than during summer vacation. Make a list, and force yourself to do at least 1-2 things per day. Bonus if you do more.

All of this. Good luck, and hopefully you can get back on track!

I get so much more done when I'm "busy". I don't deal with a lack of structure well!

Can you make yourself a little list of things to get done each day?  Not enough to overwhelm you, just enough to keep you productive?

I'm glad I'm not alone!

Yeah, it really boils down to forcing myself. Meal planning is a great place to start.

Also, just dropped off a check for an 8 week yoga series. Go me!

I'm the same way, if I don't have anything that I have to do I don't do anything at all.

OK, I weeded the beds last night, and cooked dinner and planned food for today. And I worked 11 hours yesterday. So... Yup, just need to be busy. Lol
