Feel like I just hit a wall recently with just an overall lack of motivation. Tbh unsure if it’s WFH related or the actual job. Anyone have any tips for getting out of this funk?

I was literally about to post this same post! I'm really struggling. Can't seem to focus and find any motivation. It's been so difficult to even try to show up for meetings or do any work.

Take time off

like

Take a 4 day weekend. Actually plan stuff to do tho so you don’t feel like you wasted it, or else you’ll come back feeling even worse.

Figure out a routine that might motivate you too. Is it simply taking your coffee to go and getting a walk in the morning rather than waking up shortly before the alarm? Can you block a quick 30min for a run or stretching at lunch? During the work day when in person there are natural breaks in the day - a commute, a quick coffee chat. You may just also need time off, but try to think what can make your day-to-day more sustainable

Do something that you enjoy every day and on the weekend if you can, spent more time doing something that you enjoy.

Same boat as you. Ended up getting Covid which forced me to take time off and recharge

Move to a new location - I moved across Canada! Feels like a new job.

Take a true personal day in the middle of the week and actually unplug. Call it a sick day if you need, but take a mental health day and use it to do whatever is going to make you feel better. Sometimes I’ll do this and get a bunch of shit done around the house I needed to do. Other times I’ll be a huge piece of shit and watch Netflix/play video games.

£200 for WFH equipment , what are you fishes getting

Working in a large health system as a quality professional WFH. I rarely see anyone else on my team, and when I do present findings I see no changes happening. Maybe they’re happening and I just don’t have a role in that oversight but the motivation to keep going is whittling down to nothing. I’ve been in healthcare for years but graduated with a masters in last two years and was hoping for something different. I have been applying to so many jobs and not many calls back. Any advice ?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
