> I’m tired from working all day.
This is the root of the problem.
The reason I say that is because I feel this post describes myself.
I often feel tired when I’m working somewhere that’s not intellectually challenging, and after working at a couple companies I have enough perspective to recognize it fairly quickly. Work shouldn’t feel draining. My best recommendation would be to take some time off, at least 2+ weeks, and see if the energy comes back.
Agreed.
Alternatives include:
Take the next few Fridays or Mondays off
Look through your workload and slow walk anything that won't result in a significant impact
Delegate some work, if you are able
Get help with some work, if you are able
Change your schedule to maximize how you feel during off time
Sort your workload into reasonable daily work and get it done a bit early so you can manage your pace and avoid potential burnout.
If you are in your first four decades of life and especially if you are in your third or even second, feeling tired after work should be raising alarm bells!!
Fix that. It may be medical, diet, significant others, financial, work environment, whatever.
What is causing it is only important in that you need to know why you are how you currently are.
Then address it no matter what the cost.
If you do not, you risk doing yourself real harm.
Peace, no judgment, live well.
