Got another chore completed that I had been putting off for months.

These chores weren't particularly complicated. In fact they're kinda "easy" - the trouble was that they required multiple easy steps, and some level of executive function to think ahead about where to start and in what order to complete things.

This chore was "simply" gluing the molding on some of the doors in the RV, because they had come loose.

But that involved setting up a workbench, getting my tools out, finding the glue, removing the doors, taking them outside to a work area, gluing them, clamping them and/or putting weights on top of them, etc

Burnout is not laziness. It's not even really a lack of motivation, though that's the word I've been erroneously using to describe it.

It's a disability. It's the complete lack of ability, in my brain, not just to plan and consider all of these steps, but even to make the decision to get started.

"Just do it" my ass. I CAN just do it - when I'm not in burnout and taking care of myself.
