Holy hell I think I may have some psychological issue or burnt out syndrome.
There are days like today where I can put max 1-2hrs of work and then I can't focus at all and just want to nap or surf the web or be outside.
Easy tasks that would take 5-10 minutes take 2+hrs for me to accomplish. I just can no longer focus on work and sitting in a chair.
Wish I had invested heavy in cryptos few years ago to be retired and just lay in the sun all day at a beach. Sigh.
