Then I took two weeks off over Christmas/New Years and drove across the country to a new location where I'm working for a couple months, and it's been markedly better since then. I don't know how much was the change of scenery and how much was the vacation, but it made me realize at least part of the problem was general burn-out rather than WFH specifically.
If you're like me and many people I know, you probably haven't taken much vacation because there's not many places to go. I'd encourage you to use some of those days and go into nature, drive somewhere far, whatever you can that feels Covid-safe and mixes things up!
Volunteer from Your Couch
MobilizeAmerica is a new type of event platform that makes it easy for progressive campaigns and grassroots groups to connect to citizens and drive them to the highest-impact volunteer opportunities that win elections. Through our web and mobile apps we help organizers scale in-person and digital volunteer programs by optimizing every point of contact with potential volunteers, from cold leads through confirmations and follow-up contact.
We’ve proven out unique hybrid of tech + organizing in the Virginia 2017 elections, and are poised to work with hundreds of campaigns in 2018. We’re funded by Reid Hoffman and Higher Ground Labs.

I'm having a hard time sympathizing with this.
It's not Twitter that "instantly takes complex ideas out of my brain, over-simplifies them, and ships them off to random people." It's ME. Twitter is just a medium — the solution is to care about those complex thoughts enough to see them through.
Not to say that the instant gratification of tweeting does not exist, or is easy to fight — it's a struggle, and something to be mindful of. But the battle is already lost when, as this article does, you shift all the blame to the service instead of looking inward.
