Apropos of oh-holy-shit-I’ve-got-3-working-days-to-do-ALL-THE-THINGS, I’m reading self-help articles about how to deal with the #SundayScaries…
My God, some of the advice is SHOCKING:
“Make your weekend more enjoyable by doing work at a café, or in your pyjamas”
🫠
However bad things might be, at least I know that working (at 3am) on my days off is a shit idea, and both unsustainable and counterproductive as a habit.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from living with #MECFS, it’s that “a change is as good as a rest” is just not true.
In the absence of rest, a change might be better than nothing, but you still need rest - and REGULARLY.
Eg: 1hr physical exertion + 1h mental exertion is better than 2hrs mental exertion, but neither gives any rest at all. You might not know it, but your cortisol levels and your nervous system absolutely do.
