I'm so glad it saves responses between sessions. I'm still working on it but I wouldn't have a chance if I had to do it all at once.
I'm currently in burnout and my writing can be an incredibly slow and overly deliberative process. Like how long it took me to write that sentence, for example.
I’m glad it saves work as well. Especially since it’s such an extensive survey. Trying to do it all in one sitting and provide input beyond a sentence or two would be pretty overwhelming for me too.
Burnout is a big deal. I welcome your input, but be careful about what you take on. If you find it nurturing and enjoyable to share your thoughts, feel free to do so. If it’s too much or another obligation, put it aside. “Subtractive recovery” matters - reduce your tasks to the bare minimum, things that either are unavoidable or that are actually resourcing.
I’ll still be here when you’re feeling a bit more energetic. Assuming I’m not in burnout myself from all the things I’m doing lol.
Thanks for the supportive comments. Though writing is very slow for me right now, this particular survey comes at just the right time. I'm feeling certain cognitive function improvements recently and doing this survey is a way for me to validate (for myself) that there is actual change happening. I see that I'm able to write more than I might have been capable of just a few weeks ago.
One of my frustrations in the past year or so has been that I want to see some kind of quantitative measurement of progress. The ability to write more than a couple of sentences and have it somewhat coherent are proof enough for me.
That is indeed one of the signs that burnout is starting to improve. Along with digestion and sleep becoming less disrupted, being able to handle more social interactions a little bit at a time, and facing daily tasks and hygiene more regularly. It's hard to know when you're really ready versus just pushing yourself too early, but regaining some cognitive function is a reliable one.
Writing has a similar function for me. On my darkest days, I'll sit down and try to transform pain into insight and clarity, as best I can. It's a hell of a lot better than just sitting there feeling sorry for myself.

I love this David. Happy to assist in any way I can! 💛
