I don't believe I'm burnt out yet, but yeah, chronic exhaustion and pressure from my "day" job has been sapping my creative, physical and mental energy lately. Haven't had the will to. After work, it's just eat and sleep, pretty much. But yeah, procrastinate on procrastinating. That's a novel idea to me. Gonna do that one after my next shift. 🙂

I get that. Sometimes I don't even have time to procrastinate.

yup, burnout is a familiar friend (or enemy, if you will). I would like to say my middle name is Procrastinator, but The Idiot is far more fitting. I'm the guy who walks into a room and sees a never-ending buffet and decide I want everything. I'll see a room full of people and attempt to get to know everyone (not chat). I have a mountain (nay, mountains!) of things to do, but I'm at the bottom feeling like I haven't even began climbing😅. I don't hate you...yet. Thank you for another video that will be timeless.

Ah, I hear ya there. Feeling overwhelmed has never stopped me from piling more on my plate.

ah, burnout. something that's been as much an excuse to me as it has been my worst enemy. I haven't seen it since I've been out of highschool and I hope to god and back that I don't see it again🤣 I was pretty good at just guilt tripping myself into doing stuff whenever I felt burnt out. Since usually that something was making videos or doing some writing, I'd end up enjoying it as I do it, and then I'll end up pulling myself out of said burnout. was it mentally healthy to do it that way? probably not. But it worked.

Eh. Mental health is relative. Sorry to say, but you're gonna confront the burnout beast again in college. Just remember and apply whatever strategies have worked for you before, and you'll be okay.
