🤔 Brief Reflection

I guess I had only been running too hard lately. (22-combo)

After flopping down once, it still feels like my mind and body have not fully recovered.

From morning through the whole day, I had no energy and no desire to do anything.

Yes. Burnout came again after a long time. (The intensity is… very shallow, like a first-degree burn.)

But what was truly fortunate in the middle of that was that I had a meeting scheduled with a company I have recently been in contact with.

At the meeting, I learned a lot about development and business overall, and a good proposal came in that could even bring in some income, so my motivation and energy started to come back little by little.

The pastor’s advice and proposal from a few days ago is also a path worth considering… With so many opportunities pouring in like this, I cannot whine like a child about burnout and how hard things are.

Stand up.

Run.

And as an aside, seeing the aftermath of that earlier all-nighter drag on this long makes me think I really should avoid all-nighters as much as possible now.

…

Run steadily for a long time at a reasonable pace.
