I’m really struggling with this work from home model. My motivation has hit desperate levels of low, even 1-2 slides or minor asks just feel insurmountable. I exercise daily, sleep well, didn’t drink during the week over the summer. But nothing works. Maybe it’s the new normal but man, I really don’t know how to survive until we are back in person, much less push for Senior Consultant 😔

I am in the same boat. Except I don't sleep well and I work long hours.

I get the same and it’s sort of making me scared it’s not my current job I hate, it’s just working in general 😂

I’m hoping that returning to the office and having something to PHYSICALLY get up for in the morning and clearer boundaries between home and work will restore us all back to normal

I am absolutely with you... first year analyst and just feel totally crushed. I used to feel so excited to go to work and genuinely felt 10/10 on consulting. Now it just feels like it’s sucking away my youth lol
Feel you big time, take some PTO and see if you can reset yourself! :)

Have you tried the pomodoro technique? Where you set an alarm for predetermined intervals of "on" or "work" time, followed by a preset break. Rinse and repeat. It's typically 25 minutes of work but you can use any interval. I find this helps me to do things I hate.

Sorry this is happening for you. I agree w/SD1, likely that you are energized by those around you for your work. Sounds like you are doing some other positive things, so keep those going. Maybe look at some counseling, therapy, or meditation to help bridge the gap. Hoping it gets brighter soon!
