Working like the 90’s
Yes, we should work like the 90’s and get to disconnected when we leave the office. At my job I don’t ever check my email because I only get around 1 email a month that would involve me and it also involves my boss because he copied me. Thus, he always mentions to me that there is email to deal with. Everything else I do comes in via Github because we’re dealing int

1,5 WOCHEN NUR LIEGEN, TEIL 2

Die Schmerzen gingen rund um den Schädel herum, in der Höhe wo auch ein Stirnband sitzen würde. Also auch der Nacken ist beteiligt.

Ich war der Meinung: nur ein paar Tage ausruhen, die Verspannungen müssen gelöst werden. Ich brauche einfach Zeit, um nach dem Umzug in den veränderten Alltag einzufinden. Und ich bin absolut urlaubsreif.

I’m glad there’s more conversation around autistic #burnout — that is, the way #autism interacts with stress in ways that make burnout different for us.

But so many of the presumably well-intentioned therapists writing about preventing it give the most ham-handed advice. Using a calendar does not help with executive function issues. Putting ear plugs in at the grocery store does not solve being forced to be in overstimulating environments without support.

You can’t just go back to that version of yourself (the pre-burnout self, the one who had energy, and could do all of the things, and be a workaholic, or change the world, or whatever it was).

That version of yourself wasn’t living in a healthy way, it was ignoring your own needs.

I had a technique focused day for the first time in forever, and it felt so good. I was feeling worn down, starting to dread my workout, which was my body asking me to stop stressing it out. A technique week is going to do me good, so I can get back to lifting heavy. This is a wake up call to start considering my mesocycle way more

I *completely* fell for the Libera.chat April Fool's Day joke yesterday, and I am ashamed.

Looking for easy to read resources and easy to implement suggestions for dealing with #Autistic #Burnout. I am familiar with Dr. Megan Anna Neff, Niamh Garvey, & Dr. Alice Nicholls, but am too exhausted right now to try to read their books. If any of my #ActuallyAutistic peers know of some good ways to start recovering, I would really appreciate some guidance. Links to existing posts are appreciated. Thank you. @actuallyautistic

These might look #lazy, but are actually reasonable strategies:

- resist pointless #tasks to create time for deep thinking,
- set #boundaries at work to avoid #burnout,
- say “no” to tasks, resisting that we should always strive to #produce more,
- automate #repetitive tasks to free up time for #creative tasks.

I keep breaking shit. Literally and metaphorically. And then I want to feel better, so I run to some other shit. And then I break that too because I'm impatient and distracted by my feelings of loss from the last thing.

I'm trying to escape this cycle with video games (possibility of success without possibility of meaningful failure)... but Veilguard is making it hard to give a shit.

Finally completed Burnout 3: Takedown on PS2. Well, got all golds anyway. Still don't have all trophies or signature takedowns. Took me some 20 years

I suspect very few people appreciate how much patience and discipline it takes to rest.

To do nothing.
To allow yourself to be bored.
To let socializing wait.
To ignore your to-do list.
To tell yourself over and over again:
'I am not doing nothing I am resting. Resting IS a verb, and it is the thing I most need to do right now."
