I'm coming to a very sobering realisation that my mind really isn't as capable as it was five years ago, it's taking a lot more effort to understand academic journal articles and new concepts than it used to. I spend so much energy on maintenance tasks and quelling anxiety, that there isn't much left for novel/challenging thinking outside of a conversational context
I hear you. Just concentrating on staying on top of stuff is exhausting
I thought some life admin would become less taxing with experience and age, but I find that they seem to take on more of a mental load and not just from the post viral fatigue.
