Haven't posted anything in a long while. Have been heavily busy with work. I'll give a brief summary of stage 2 and up to where I am in stage 3.
Stage 2
The highlights of this stage were the multiple mental breakdowns that occurred during my work. Throw in issues of imposter syndrome and wondering if I'd failed at being an attorney. Well, you get the whole mental picture. Did reach out for help at my work which helped more than a little. My work definitely has good mental health benefits. Other than that, my mental has been entirely on work. Our offices are overworked right now because of covid-19. Not helped by having to work remotely and needing to get documents from people you can't meet.
Mid-Stage 3
This stage has been the most frustrating from a just following it perspective. 9-hours is a frustratingly long amount of time. 7-8 hours I can consistently guarantee will be uninterrupted but 9-hours goes into the territory of where if I make a mistake and don't pay attention to the time, the last loop will get interruptions from my morning alarms. That's frustrating and probably affects reults. Morale of the lesson for me: if it requires continuous listening, the limit for me on a sub is 8 hours. If it goes to 9 or greater, will have to seriously think through the sub and the potential for lesser results.
On a more life related note, I felt a bit more in control, although I've basically spent the last week on vacation since our office is taking a vacation from Christmas until the 4th. I'm hoping this will help me recharge my batteries and I can jump into getting things done. I've also had discussions at my work about transitioning to a different department because of how stressful the current one is. There are a few options that I think could work as relax points but not as a final position (I know me and would likely go crazy after too long there). Otherwise, life is going on and I probably won't be able to write much of a summary because work is all demanding. Really wish covid-19 and its economic disaster would just end and let things slow down at my work.
