As someone who also quit their tech job and digging out of that burnout, I’ve been forcing myself to be bored. It’s honestly so hard and I know my focus is a mess because of it. Thank you for writing about it
It's such an interesting contrast because I can focus on work just fine. Yet when I try to do things for myself, it's so hard to stay consistent. Here's to our journey to healing from corporate <3
I loved reading this in the afternoon and have been thinking about it all day. And thank you for writing this and for linking the research paper on boredom; it's great!

First of all, I love your writing. Second: The whole post is so thoughtful and eye-opening to me, it‘s shocking.
„I wasn’t resting—I was performing a different version of productivity.“
Wow. I will think about this for a little.
That's the greatest compliment! Thanks for taking the time to read it. It was a vulnerable one to write but have been bothering me for way too long.
