Yeah I'm there at the moment. I burned out after the contract job I took went in a hellish direction. Now I'm recovering, but there's this constant sense that I'm not recovering fast enough. I know I need to just trust the system, but considering that I want things to work out as a pivot to my own output for a living... I just want to get going. Bleh.
This is a huge part of what lead to burnout for me last year.
Such a hard feeling to break. By being off most social media, and showing up when I feel good about what I'm doing, and not *making* myself post unless I have something I *want* to say, I find that those feelings have dissipated quite a bit.
All. The. Time. I feel this. I always think I'm lazy or haven't done enough. I'm trying to break the cycle by listing out what I have done. Sometimes that visual helps break the Productivity Guilt. Sometimes.

Thanks for this. So relatable.
I call it a to done list. Congratulations on detecting it, and good luck on your journey to overcome it.
