When work becomes too tiring, take a break. Forcing yourself to continue grinding through fatigue lowers work quality. Getting good rest, on the other hand, allows you to attack whatever follows with more clarity and energy.

Consider going for walks, meditation, and journaling. And, of course, get plenty of sleep every night.

If there was a position you wanted to hold, or more generally a future you wanted to achieve (I’m not a fan of jobs, but that’s just me), you may be more invested in this mission and find it easier to exert effort.

What do you want?
