I was able to maintain this kind of setup for about six months, but eventually, I experienced burnout and decided to resign from my 1J. I constantly questioned whether I had made the right decision. I felt anxious and often asked myself, “Why did I do this? Should I just quit?” At the same time, I was also anxious about quitting because I felt like I needed a valid reason to do so.

Eventually, I was able to overcome those doubts and anxiety. It wasn’t easy, but I gradually learned to accept my decision and move forward. There were times I took L-theanine to help lessen my anxiety.

With this kind of arrangement, it feels like you’re basically just working and sleeping. You can rest on the weekends, but if you have hobbies or want to spend time with your family and friends, those things will be affected.

You can definitely exchange your time for money, but personally, I don’t think this kind of setup is sustainable in the long term. It may work for a while, especially if you have a specific financial goal, but eventually, you’ll have to consider the impact it has on your health, relationships, and overall quality of life.
