I'm currently "on a break" from those same three courses. I really want to finish them, but the current heat wave (among other things) has disabled my brain. I have a phone appointment on Monday with an IFS therapist, which I hope will reduce the number of inactive periods caused by my Eliezer-like low mental energy.

Yeah, sometimes I struggle with inactive periods, too. Though through some pretty hard work, they've subsided for the past few months. Now I'm focusing on making my working time more productive.

I don't know much about IFS, but I wish you the best with your phone appointment. Way to take a serious step toward self-improvement. Good job! :)

Thanks! I'm irrationally terrified that I've just jinxed myself by mentioning it!
