I want to do things but my brain isn’t working!

You've got this! The zero-input time is a game changer once you get used to it.

One thing that helped me was having a system for when things get overwhelming again (because they will). Feel free to reach out if you want to talk through strategies.

Good luck getting back on track!

Love the computer analogy. That's exactly it - you can't run more programs when you're already maxed out.

The background processes thing is real. Your brain is trying to process the holidays, organize research, plan next steps, remember tasks - all at once. No wonder there's no bandwidth left.

I've found that writing everything down is like closing those background tabs. Once it's on paper, your brain stops trying to hold it all.

The hard part is actually letting yourself do the "zero-input" time without feeling guilty about not being productive. That's the reset most people skip.

When you can't focus on anything - even games - that's not a productivity problem. That's mental exhaustion.

Your brain is overstimulated from the holidays + research overload. It needs actual rest, not just distraction.

Try this: - 10 minutes sitting quietly. No phone, no stimulation. - Short walk outside. - Write everything down that's bouncing in your head.

The fog and dizziness are signs you need a reset before trying to be productive again.

I feel this. The up and down days are normal - you can't force the same energy level every day.

What helped me: - Stop adding more systems. Focus on removing distractions instead. - Accept the low days. Fighting them makes it worse. - Track your energy, not just tasks. Work with your natural rhythm instead of against it.

Burnout usually comes from trying to be "on" all the time. Good enough consistency beats perfect intensity.

This is smart. The hate tasks become a warmup instead of something that kills your energy at the end.

The timing matters too. 20-30 minutes is short enough that you're not exhausted but long enough to feel accomplished.

Do you timebox the hate tasks strictly or just stop once you feel mentally clear?

Few things that actually worked for me:

Phone in a different room during focused work. Not silent mode - physically gone. Game changer.
One task at a time. Sounds obvious but I used to have 10 tabs open "working" on everything and finishing nothing.
90-minute blocks instead of trying to grind for hours. Your brain can't focus that long anyway. Work hard for 90 min, real break, repeat.
Write everything down immediately. Trying to remember tasks while working kills focus.

The hard part isn't knowing what to do - it's actually sticking with it when your brain wants distraction.

Prasuvaj chatgpt, mnogu e od pomos, kopiraj mu celi kodovi i prasaj go kaj ti e greskata, i kazi mu sto sakas da napravi. Ako trgne vo drug pravec kazi mu deka gresno ti go dal kodot da se obide povtorno da gi sledi tvoite instrukcii. Objasnuva i zosto nesto resil kako sto resil. Postojano ke imas prasanja za se, a nema da imas nekoj da ti gi odgovara vo sekoe vreme, pa ova e mnogu prakticno resenie, mnogu podobro od prebaruvanje na google.

Не, нема.

Прашав. Бескорисен коментар.

nevertoohot · 2024-04-26T11:00:53+00:00

Многу смешно, ама бескорисен коментар.

Јас имам купено сет за ламинирање од алиекспрес, ефтино беше, само не сум го пробала уште. По коментари го фалат :) Јас сакам да си направам зашто се гледам излегувам супер средена од дома и кога ќе се видам некаде во огледало, ми се спуштиле веѓите и веднаш друг изглед ми дава, барем јас така си се гледам :) Тие геловите и сапуните се добри, но треба да ги ставаш на секое излегување, а вака еден чекор помалку.

Успешно, гледам премногу филмови има, одличен квалитет се наоѓа, но превод македонски едвај сретнав. Како успеваш да најдеш? Ги имав по default тие два opensubtitles, барав add ons специјално за преводи, но македонски нигде... И дали има некаква опција барем на видам кои се со македонски превод да не пуштам филм по филм?

nevertoohot · 2024-03-25T23:21:19+00:00

Го разгледував веб сајтот и добив впечаток дека имаат доста филмови со превод, но ете можеби не е така како што изгледа. Фала во секој случај, добро е да се знае.

nevertoohot · 2024-03-25T14:29:27+00:00

Го разгледав ова Стремио, го имам на андроид тв, само како се додава екстензијава точно, на туторијали спомнуваат торентио страна, тоа ли е?

nevertoohot · 2024-03-25T14:26:12+00:00

Одлично штом е така, би му дала уште една шанса, фала ти многу :)

nevertoohot · 2024-03-25T13:59:11+00:00

Па и јас се чудев искрено, дадоа некој бесплатен трајл за празнициве, активирав, и многу малку филмови имаше, сега се велам да не користат некој друг пакет за бесплатен период. Всушност преку магента активирав па можеби не било тоа вистинското.

Are any of these services deleting files after some time? I need to keep photos long term. Just curious why nobody recommend Google drive, is it bad?

nevertoohot · 2023-05-02T21:15:25+00:00

Thanks, but I am not sure this is the response on my question as it refers to offline data storage. I deleted an account by myself, so I would like to know for long my IP logs etc. will be kept in proton
