I’m not sure what to say but feel very like this in other ways.

I’m wondering if there’s any way you can half ass some of the details a little bit so you don’t get stuck? I don’t know what you’re working on but sometimes done > perfect

Otherwise you’re well within your rights to insist on the time you’ve carved out so you don’t get dragged sideways.

Taking some leave in whatever form is a good idea because this sounds like burnout.

Whatever happens I wish you can get some peace or rest somehow, even for a moment.

I have three weeks off at christmas, and there are just a couple of really crappy situations to navigate first. I struggle when I can't even see a start. I'm setting a hard "pens down" rule at night so I can get a little bit of relaxattion in each day. Thanks for the thoughts
