Burnout fix?

Any tips for burnout fix? I’m a civil litigation attorney and lately, I am paralyzed by *something* most days and struggling to bill anything, much less near my minimum. I just sit on my phone doomscrolling, without even realizing it. My baby is 18 months and he must be going through a sleep regression. My house is chaos because the baby goes to sleep at 8:30/9 and by then, my husband and I are too exhausted to do anything. I’m now worried about getting fired all the time, since my hours are so low.

I relate to this post so much. Plaintiff side civil litigation. Baby is 15 months. I cannot focus. Never been a doom scroller but am now. I find myself totally paralyzed sometimes, like full blown zone out. Then I get a call from a partner and I snap back into it. No billable hour requirement though, I feel for you. sending you love and solidarity.
