I've been off since the beginning of April and was just recently made aware that I'll be off until September.
It's starting to get to me, anyone else?
In the beginning I was ACTIVE.
I caught up on long ignored projects, reaffirmed interests that had taken second stage, and managed to not spend much (if any money).
Obviously it came in waves (I mean, I didn't all of a sudden become a fully stable person...) but now I'm reaching the point where I can't make myself do anything even mostly productive.
I even did the legwork before now to be able to start some goal projects when this freedom-from-work-hangover hit and I haven't accomplished the first steps yet despite removing the hurdles.
How is everyone else dealing extended open time?
Note: I'm single, live alone, and am fortunate enough to currently be financially stable. I fully understand that people with families or hardships don't have the luxury of not accomplishing anything and I hope my inquiring about how to cope isn't insulting or dismissive. I just find myself in an odd spot.
