Weird question I know. Before I accepted this new job, I booked a 10 day trip to Rome, Italy and paid for the Airbnb, flight, reserved a budget for it. I wanted to go out and finally do something. But this new job has us on rotational shifts and it means I’ll have to work from 12pm-9pm on most days and will only have 2 free days. I’m starting to have regret.

You won’t be enjoying all the time. You will be tired sometimes, and deserving some rest, and that’s ok.

For me, what helped was trying to have a healthy workload and trying to have a fixed work schedule as well
