I have been working in public accounting for over 10 years now. Over the course of my career there were many times I felt burnt out, but yet I had energy and drive to do things I'm passionate about outside of work. 2 years ago I left the big firm grind and have a lower stress job where I work less but have no energy for anything other than work. It seems to be getting worse recently. Nothing changed other than my age and I weigh a bit (5lbs) more recently. Any advice?

Routines and Habits. Oddly, I’ve always felt that my old Busy Seasons were so incredibly productive and structured to do everything that I want to do. I would set a schedule and stick with it because i had to so everything would fit in my day. During slow periods, I would lose my routine and feel unstructured. So as I’ve grown in Accounting, i found that I need a daily routine that leaves me satisfied with my day no matter my work load.
