Over-hiring in the zero interest years. It resulted in the hiring of non-qualified personnel and of qualified personnel with no concrete plans on how to utilize them. Either is a buzz kill, especially when the chickens came home to roost with respect to results (revenues) vs ballooned valuations.
I am seeing a psychologist. I considered taking meds but decided not to due to possible long term side effects (IMO... to each his own regarding long term risk I guess)
thanks! in the past I treated such down time as a time to regroup, but we live in a world with deadlines and sometimes rigid schedules where it's not always possible to step back.
This is not a whine... I'm with a fairly productive mindset "usually", so perhaps it doubly hurts when I can't be productive or take life by the mouthful.
I guess this is true, but even when I keep these habits (i.e. exercise, albeit too "mechanically") (and right now admittedly I fail to do so), the lack of focus I'm talking about is not only in the sense of "what direction should I take in my life", but in the sense of me trying to read and grok something or need to do some math exercise and am unable to focus.
