Decided I’m going to quit in the medium term to take some time off. It’s been really difficult to keep the same work ethic and as a result am creating more anxiety for myself. Any advice? (Contd)

I’m on a very demanding project and have become the point person for multiple work tracks so it’s basically impossible to just “coast” and stay afloat. It’s making me want to quit sooner than I intended but I also don’t think that’s the best option. But I’m slipping into bad old habits professionally and personally, not sleeping enough, generally being lazy, etc. I feel like I just need a drastic change of circumstances to spend some time doing personal work.
