I hit 5.1 on the burnout index by July 6, 2020

Dec 19 - Jan 10

I decided to take 3 weeks vacation to see if it helped

I worked a little on a project for IoD

https://internetofdon.gs/considering-becoming-an-adult-model-or-performer/

I didn't get as far as i hoped

I slept a bunch

I was dealing with my bun being sick (infected eye) he still sort of is :(

I played a bunch of animal crossing, i hadn't played since defcon really so lots of catchup

I had time to read a book

I made progress on my inbox 0 project for my dozen or so inboxes

got my books sorted

got back into tea blogging, but that didn't last much past vacation

In January I also signed up for "new year's explorations" with Dr Liz Powell

https://www.burnoutindex.org/

(no subject)

 Overall through my online coaching, therapy, reading, the following themes reoccur

• physical activity
• sun
• mindfulness (meditation, grounding, body scan etc) tried headspace, been using calm as i have it for free this year - at least doing something very in the moment even if it's eating and cooking (the smell, the feel, the taste the sight)
• gratitude journal - or positive thing journal
• rest time
• enough sleep
• lavendar
• notice stress and journal it down parking lot for later
• try not to overbook calendar, get more realistic about timelines
• take set breaks, like lunch, away from work
• boundaries, work and home
