Self-care, tiredness, and getting things done

[chanaleh]

I came home one night (a Thursday) a few weeks ago and promptly had a meltdown over the fact that I constantly feel like I'm too tired to do anything useful. That is, I only have one or two half-hour scraps of baby-free time in a day (at least on weekdays), and even though there are surely small pending tasks I could fruitfully accomplish in that

I know that there are days when I consciously avoid social media and I feel like I get so much stuff done. And then there are days like today when I check facebook every hour or so and get nothing done at all

This is all very wise! I probably need to do something like this.

This sounds very familiar.

Yep. I've only just begun to emerge from the other side of childcare-induced vegging in the past few years. It saps everything.
