Ask HN: How to Not Be Indifferent
I have been working as a developer for 3 years or so, and now I am completely indifferent about all I do.
I procrastinate, like many others, but I have don't find any reason doing anything about it.
This also goes further than just work. I don't see any reason to exercise, I don't see any reason to date or to make myself at home where I live.
The thing is that I am not feeling burned out per se. I can still spend good time with friends, travel, do stuff, etc. I just feel that I am increasingly becoming a shell of myself and loosing my energetic, curious motivated self that I used to have.
I have plenty of offers for different jobs and I can basically have my workday as I fancy. But I don't feel any excitement.
I don't feel that I develop, I feel that I degenerate.
I have just decided to prioritise some months of revitalization this year. Where I cut all my ties with work related stuff to see if I can regain some of my old self. I am also seeing a therapist.
Have any of you experiences in this direction? What did you do?
