I’m currently lounging on my sofa watching shitts creek with a face mask and a cup of tea. My taxes aren’t close to being done and I’m anxious. But I need to self care

I haven’t touched my taxes yet either. 😩

I don’t do anything on Saturdays and use Sunday to clean and other light work around the house. Sunday evening used to be packing time, but now I just go to sleep earlier and conk out with a bit of melatonin (living wild over here lol)

No guilt here! I'm newly pregnant, and between previous overwork and future childcare responsibilities, I know that there will be very little true downtime in my future, so I am being lazy AF and self indulgent as much as I can right now.

Weekends are for NOTHING

Spend so much time sitting at a desk during the week. If I don’t end up doing some sort of outdoor activity on the weekend I get that guilty feeling you’re talking about.

I take Saturday’s off, use Sunday mornings to clean up for the week and start working from Sunday evening because of this “guilty feeling” 😳

Yup me allll the time! I go from watching 6 hours of Netflix to deep clean the house.

YES! Even after my agency work day ends if I spend more than 1 hour watching tv instead of working on freelance work or personal projects I feel so guilty. This extends to the weekend too except I do make time for seeing people or getting outside. Any time I’m just chillin in the house, immense guilt.

Every weekend for the past couple of months I have told myself that I would not do anything but enjoy the day, besides the necessary chores of course. Every time I have lied to myself and ended up working between 9 and midnight. Last night was no different.

I'm not even sure if I know how to stop.

yes, and then even if I can get over my own feelings about being not productive my wife is very effective at pointing out how lazy I am being on the weekend😂😂

Every week.

I usually start an audio book while cleaning the house on Sunday’s to feel less guilty

Nope

Absolutely. I’m an independent contractor so I COULD make money or prospect on the weekends and get closer to my income goal on any day. However....

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Hello my bowlpeople. Since working in consulting the last few years I see its not for me and has drastically affected my mental health.

Im moving back home in a few months, and plans to resign and take time to be with family and engage in my hobbies/upskill. Then apply for jobs.

Any tips or advice on moving forward?
