Having gone back and forth, I now do my best to reserve one and only one "give-a-shit" for work, per day.

Luxuriously, my single daily give-a-shit is quite effective, because I'm very good at what I do.

Anyway, perhaps my mantra could help you "Is this worth spending my daily give-a-shit on?"

Just try not to say the mantra out loud.

Ill give a shit the whole workday but it annoys me to not leave it there. Heck I don't even begrudge the back of mind solving that happens overnight or weekends. Thing with yesterday is it was like messing with my ability to relax and watch a show.

I've had that. I hate it.

For me, it was a sign it was time to change jobs.

The bigger sign was my spouse telling me "you need to change jobs", of course.

Im in the US and my spouse needs healthcare. Main reason I don't change jobs or just contract really.

Oof. Yeah. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

I really did have a mantra, to help keep it in check, when I was dealing with that.

After hours, it was "I spent that give-a-shit at work, already."
