taking the summer off work

after deliberating for a while and doing some budget-math, i decided to take the summer off of work and attempt to recover from burnout. maybe i’ll write about that more over the next few months.

this is the first time since i was fourteen that i haven’t either been doing school or doing work (or doing both). as much as i know this break is necessary, i’m not looking forward to it yet.

as an adult, i have been risk averse when it comes to employment and money. i’ll be living leaner this summer, but i’ll be okay.

my intention this week is to create a calendar. i want to ensure that i’m not just rotting away in my apartment full-time. i’ll plan out things i want to go out and do; milestones for personal projects i want to make progress on; and well-defined chore goals (i’ve been putting off some things).

if you’re reading this and have experienced burnout, or are getting close, hello there. feel free to send me a message. :-)
