Anyone else enjoy how busy it is during busy season but hate the hours, then when summer hits you get bored? I’m 5 hours into my day and am sitting here half asleep and can’t think…I should be full of life considering we’re working so much less. I think there’s something wrong with me lol.

Have you considered that this is your body showing fatigue or burnout after busy season? Entirely normal when you’ve been overworking for months. Our industry just normalizes always being “on” but it’s not exactly healthy.

I honestly take that as a sign of burnout. You have this big Adrenaline dump from busy season being over and can’t pick it up.

I would suggest a vacation, go for a run mid day, or meditate

This is burnout. Try doing hobbies if you can with a 3-4 day weekend.
When I get back from that I set timers to do a pomodoro method work an hour and break for 5 minutes.
