Thank you for all the comments here! I’ve seen a lot of helpful suggestions here that I will definitely try. I think the problem is that I just started a job where I have a lot of autonomy over my time, which is amazing and exactly what I want. I am just finding it a bit hard to adjust after switching from a job where I barely had any control over how I use my time.

I think it will take time and some experimentation to get used to this freedom. These are just ramblings where I’m trying to identify what’s making me feel sad and how to fix it.

Again, thank you everyone for the great suggestions!
