These last couple days I've also been really unmotivated. My brain has been going every which way and I haven't been able to focus on anything for ...

I'm the same way with attention after work, it's pretty frustrating. I'll make dinner, watch something on Netflix, then lose focus for the rest of the night. I've been toying with the Idea of taking a quick power nap, but then maybe I won't be able to sleep?
I tried taking naps to kind of reboot after work and I can't get to sleep until after midnight then. I know other people it helps so you could try and see what happens.
I think it may have just been the cold. Sometimes doing nothing for a solid week is the best thing we can do for our health, to allow our body to recoup and recover. For me, I know too much of nothing is what motivates me to do twice as much the next week. I sometimes get great ideas in my sleep.
That was definitely part of it. My concentration dipped majorly the first week I was feeling better again, which was the weird part. I think it was because I was still pushing myself when I was sick.
Jenna. Great article but I have few questions from you.
i) How to manage learning new things along-with work ?
ii) How to deal with situation when you think you are under-payed?
Thank you!
i) I do morning sessions of learning and will sometimes do lessons over lunch. When I'm working on projects I'll write down questions I need to find answers for during my morning session and then look them up over lunch to see if I can find any answers. I try to get learning done after I'm done with work for the day but it doesn't work out sometimes. Plus, I make sure to keep a social life.
ii) I'd ask for a raise with reasons why and how I've been going above and beyond. If I don't get it I'll try harder and ask again. But there is a point where you know you're underpaid and they won't give more so I start looking for jobs.
Thank you so much. In terms of morning sessions, I am lazy nowadays. Anyways, I would take your suggestions seriously and will work on these things. Thanks again for your time.
How much time do you dedicate to studying in the morning?
I'm a night owl and getting up even 15 min earlier is an apocalypse for me.
I moved it back bit by bit but my norm is an hour and 15 mins before I have to get ready because it takes me 15 mins to make coffee and wake up enough to be able to focus.
When I started and was only at half an hour total it wasn't enough time to get too into anything so I would read or something.
Number 4 exercise is my big go to. It becomes a lot more difficult as the weather turns cold in the area.
For sure! Even going to the gym becomes harder because you have to get into a cold car after.
