Most of my adult life has involved lots and lots of work. Right now I’m juggling like three and a half jobs. I “only” worked five hours yesterday because of the holiday. I need to go back to sleep now to get up to be ready for work at 8 am. I’ll be working until 9 pm, with a similar schedule tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday.

I don’t even have health insurance.

    These are not full solutions, but will help. Get rid of time thieves and take as good care of your body as possible.

    Get rid of social media, contact your friends and family directly if you’re interested in what they have been up to. Try to meet them IRL or talk on a phone call, definitely no Snapchat or such. If you use streaming services, limit your account so they can’t push that “watch the next episode”-crap, only watch what you have time for. Cook your own food, from scratch. Go for walks, sit and relax outdoors even if the weather is not perfect. Take proper care of sleep hygiene, even consider getting a OG alarm clock and ban the smartphone from entering your bed/room. Don’t read news daily, you can’t spend your energy on worrying shit you can’t change.

    These are all just ideas and things that have helped me. Might not work for you, but could be worth considering. I hope all the best to you. It’s tough and often unfair.
