So then why not change into a job that requires less mental effort? Or reduce your expectations outside of work?
Makes no sense to torture yourself over something you can literally change tomorrow.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoWell, I did figure out the solution to my own problem. Also, I mostly like my line of work. Also, "something you can literally change tomorrow" is very much wrong, for the usual obvious reasons: I couldn't possibly afford a 90% salary cut, and neither could my family. Given standard life choices, past a certain age your career becomes a shackle.
