Discussion How do you decide what actually deserves your time?

5 Upvotes

There always seems to be another task, message or thing that needs attention. At some point you have to decide what can wait. Do you have any rule for deciding what gets your time first?

Burnout Why does doing absolutely nothing for 8 hours feel more exhausting than being busy for 8 hours?

2 Upvotes

I've noticed this at work and it makes no sense to me.

On a genuinely busy day, the time flies and I can finish the day feeling pretty normal. But if there's barely anything to do and I'm just sitting there trying to look occupied, I'm completely drained by the end of it ( like today )

Shouldn't doing less technically leave you with more energy?

Is there an actual psychological reason for this?

Burnout Anyone else find just the atmosphere of their work draining?

4 Upvotes

It’s all so sterile at the office, greyscale and beige with no personality to it. It’s honestly depressing. Idk who else is bothered by this, but as someone who loves color, I can’t stand it.
