When Work Stopped Feeling Like Me
A few years ago, I was doing everything "right" and still dragging my feet. I'd open my laptop, feel nothing, and bargain with myself all day.
Weekends gave me a blip of energy, but by Monday the gray was back. I could do the tasks; I just didn't care to.
I kept postponing simple things, circling one big decision, starting side projects that fizzled, then beating myself up for it.
My calendar was full; my energy wasn't. It wasn't laziness.
It was that the work and my values weren't in the same room.
If that sounds familiar, you're not broken—you're misaligned. The good news is, misalignment is fixable.
