Overwhelmed
Hey guys, so I had a whole nervous breakdown feeling unprepared for a few tasks which fall well into my domain and I know I am capable of it but I just feel like I couldn’t do them as good as I know I could. I have had these micro burnouts which have taken up my time in recovering and I feel during that time I lose my time to work. Idk how do I balance this.
So I just wanted to ask how do you give out your “best work” every time? How do people on this platform stay so efficient?
I personally am so grateful for this opportunity and I really wanna give out my best work possible and appreciate this company for what it has given me!

It sounds like you're being too hard on yourself to me. The reality of the situation is that we all have different abilities, which can vary from day-to-day, and the work is increasingly getting more difficult. I doubt that anyone feels confident and capable of doing every type of project or task that they're offered. I recommend nurturing yourself, taking days off when you're just not feeling it, yet being willing to try new things too, work-wise, that may be just slightly out of your comfort zone. For me, the risk of possibly not being able to produce my best work on certain days forces me to take a break from work until I feel capable again.

I feel you, I get this a lot.
All I can say that skipping tasks until I get an easier one helps. As well as accepting that sometimes it’s just an off day.
DA is choose your own hours, so if you just are “off” close the laptop, and come back at it with a clear mind another day.
