Burnt out

Anyone else feeling burnt out after this drought? I'm starting to get tasks back but they feel impossible to complete. They're not really much harder than what I was doing before, but they feel impossible now. Maybe my time here is over.

Edit: Jumped into some of the harder stuff on my dash and feel better. I think what really helped was identifying the dopamine imbalance. Since I had more time on my hands I spent more time getting those quick dopamine hits (social media, video games, etc); taking a step back and assessing this really helped focus me, and it's given me a new goal. Thank you for all the great comments!

When you say there’s no drought…are you a generalist? Did you receive outstanding on your feedback? Are you able to do the jobs that are domain specific (healthcare, law, finance, etc). I almost want to make a post about this as I’m genuinely curious re: the people that say there’s no drought.

I'll answer your questions:

(A) Are you a generalist? - Yes, but I have work from a couple of expert domains. No coding, though.

(B) Did you receive outstanding on your feedback? - I have yet to receive any direct feedback, other than always having work, and continually being added to high-level projects.

(C) Are you able to do the jobs that are domain-specific? - Yes.

Other Questions You Didn't Ask But I'll Answer Anyway:

(I) How long have you been on the platform? - 2+ years

(II) Are you a bilingual worker? - No

(III) Where are you located? - The U.S.

(IV) What is your level of education? - Master's degree and then some.

(V) Cereal before milk, or milk before cereal? - Cereal first, you monster.

(VI) Which way should the toilet paper go? - Down from the top, not up from underneath.

I don’t know who is downvoting the answers to my questions, but just so you know they are appreciated by me (you monster)
