Thank you. I guess it’s easy to fall into the habit of focusing solely on the future. I’m going to take your advice and work on things I can change now to start gaining momentum again.

In the past day I’ve applied a few of your suggestions and found an improvement. It is amazing how much of a difference meditation and variety have on mental health. Thank you!

Ask HN: How do you get out of a rut?

Hi HN. I'm a student and for the past few months I've found myself sitting at my desk each evening with no motivation to do anything. I want to change this. How have you all gotten out of long tracts of lethargy? What are some strategies or approaches you've found to be effective in dealing with this?Thank you for your advice!
