“You often feel tired, not because you’ve done too much, but because you’ve done too little of what sparks a light in you.” – Alexander Den Heijer

Answer: you spend 8-12 hours being a sellout - fake smiles, dead-end work, little to no pay. And you're told to be grateful for the opportunity.

This explains a lot. It's not just the workload, it's the mental exhaustion that comes from constant stress and lack of balance.

My manager said I needed to "learn how to multitask" when I complained I was getting pulled into too many directions throughout the day and that reorienting back to the task at hand was draining me. I said I needed dedicated time to work on each task, even just 30 minutes per task and I could deal with the one-off tasks in between. He shut it down, no discussion. Meanwhile when he needed to focus he'd close the door to his office for hours and set his Teams status to DND. What a hypocrite. It brought me great joy to see how upset he was when I quit. I was one of his top performers, on track to move up in the department. I didn't care. He cared more about controlling me than he did about me being healthy and happy - and ironically being much more productive if he had granted my request.

This is what society wants us to feel. Too drained to even critically function for meaningless profits

The 10PM energy spike is too real. Why is it when I try to sleep, my brain suddenly tries organizing my entire life? I was tired an hour ago, why can’t I be tired now?

Office work would leave me mentally exhausted. I deliver food on a bike now and I have far more energy now than I did 10 years ago and I am 48.

And people wonder why they can't reach me. Cause I keep my phone on mute 99% of the time. I've gotten to the point where hearing my phone do anything stresses me out

As a teacher "decision fatigue" and "emotional burnout" are two phrases I use a lot to describe how exhausted I feel at the end of work

I've tried so many things to avoid this feeling: less coffee, not eating carbs, waking up later, drinking more water, taking vitamins, i kept thinking i am sick, but it turns out it's the work that's killing me! Thank you for this video. I think I need to reevaluate my work.
