There are days when it seems like you didn’t do anything special, and the day is over. No feats, no big things - but the fatigue is as if you ran a marathon. In fact, everyday life consists of hundreds of little things that we don’t notice.

Making coffee, answering a message, cleaning something “quickly”, going to the store “for a minute”, scrolling through the feed, thinking about a to-do list that was never written down. These small actions don’t look serious, but together they eat up time and energy.

The problem is not laziness, but in the constant “background” mode, when the brain never rests. Sometimes the solution is not to do more, but the opposite: to consciously slow down and stop demanding productivity from yourself where regular rest is needed.
