I just spent my whole weekend trying to figure out how to recharge on the weekends? I don't feel ready to go back to work tomorrow AT ALL. I feel like I've become such a boring mess who's always just on social media or reading stuff from AdAge and Marketing Brew. Help me have fun again! Drop your fav things to do in your down time that's not watching a show/movies.

This sounds silly, but try doing productive stuff around the house. Paint a wall. Clean a bathroom. You’ll be surprised how little time it takes and how it springs you forward in your day.

Exactly my comment :D Doing more work that's not your usual work actually feels great.

What is wrong with relaxing and not having something to do every minute? I spend most of my weekend indoors just resting. If I really need to do an activity, then I go hiking with my friends.

I don't think any amount of having fun or chilling will cut it for me .. maybe when our agency finally shifts to 4 day work weeks. FINGERS CROSSED. I don't know if this counts as relaxing for you, but I bake desserts and cook meals in the weekends because I never get to do that during the week, and it feels so good. Maybe find something that you'd do if you had time, and just force yourself to do it on Saturday morning. It will set the tone for the rest of the weekend.

Are you feeling burned out from work? I notice when I am very burned out from work I don't really want to go out or be around people at all. I tend to stay home and potate as my sister and I call it because I am all peopled out and just overall tired. Its hard to recharge.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?
