Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I have an open question guys!

Is working 9-5 really living? No, the process of working itself is life. I want to write a lot of things, but whenever I start to express my thoughts in text, I get stuck. It's the same with my life—I want to do many things, but I'm not able to. Have I become lazy? When will I get tired of spending so much time watching web series and movies? Will they be worth anything in the end? No! So why am I not doing anything productive?

How Do you guys prevent sleeping after having lunch in the office?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I work at an early stage startup, and I just can't get work done at the office with all the distractions. I always end up coming back home and getting back to work again to meet the deadlines. I really want to get most of the work done at the office so that I can avoid working at home as well. 

Are there any tips to increase productivity and actually get the most shit done at the office? I really need help 😭

What all do you do to be productive at work?

Alright so this post is coming from a place of guilt so do not take it as bragging.

I have been employed for more than 16 years now and routinely clocked 60+ hour work weeks till before COVID. Once WFH started, I found it difficult to adjust working from home (especially with two toddlers) and found myself spending most of the time taking care of the kids (which I thoroughly enjoyed). Wife is a doctor and has erratic hours so I thought kids need the reassurance of at least one parent being around most of the time. Around 2021, I realised that my fitness has significantly gone down so I enrolled in a sports club and began playing squash regularly and religiously in the mornings. 30 minute sessions became 45 minutes which became 1 hour to now close to 2 hours (coupled with some running and swimming). By the time I login to work (I have UK hours: 11 am to 8 pm), I feel quite tired and at times take post lunch naps (during office time). My health has significantly improved but I have found that I am simply unable to stay productive at work for more than 4 hours ( around 4 pm to 8 pm). 

I am pretty good at what I do and one of the few technical people in a team full of Excel worshippers so one can argue that I get things done relatively faster than average colleagues. However, I have a serious fear that this level of slacking may get me in trouble and could even render me unemployable as I get older. Is this just a phase or a manifestation of a midlife crisis? Have others experienced something like this in their late 30s early 40s?

Unable to work for more than 4 hours in a day

Quantitative Research

Everyday i wake up with no motivation to work. Spend most of my day trying to gather any will i have to get something done and just wait for the evening standup. After which i have no energy to do anything since all was lost trying to ( not necessarily doing ) work. Can anyone relate? Or gone through it? How do you even fix it?

PS: don't suggest grass is greener on other side and how there are jobless people in the world...

How do you guys manage remote work? I often feel sleepy and struggle with concentration in the afternoon, increasing work pressure. To compensate, I end up working at night, disrupting my entire routine. Do you experience similar challenges? How can I avoid this?
Thanks in advance

Managing remote work

Software Developer

I am in a tricky situation with no hopes for promotion soon. Already spent a good 7-9 years of my career here. I want to take a break and rethink, maybe do an MBA or CFA Not sure whether I need a break or am being frustrated and lazy. Not sure if I will pick back that momentum I had in my initial career time.

Also an opportunity has come knocking at the door, for a completely new field when I was mentally preparing myself to disengage from work. What to do, ??

I know it's my decision, but a 3rd person speaking honestly would help me a lot! - Need some good advice!

Life or No life

Senior Consultant

For the last 2 months I have been trying to go to the gym and take care of my health but every week something or the other comes up and I'm working more than 14+ hrs sometimes. 12 hrs is average.


Every time something is going on in my mind around my work or performance or layoffs and a lot of things.  

I'm frustrated. Can somebody tell me what should be the best way to handle this?

Because of this I have high anxiety and also not getting proper time for personal life. 

I also feel a lot demotivated sometimes , thinking that why I'm working till 2am and for what?

Frustrated and Stressed: Mind Fog

Data engineer

Done with my end-sem, and started building projects and learning new concepts for like 15hr+/day, but now it's getting boring for me(I like working on projects) no physical interactions with friends just sitting in a room and coding😩. bruh sometimes I like watching series, movies, and animes but now that's also getting me bored.

Any suggestion what you all do in such time? I wanted to be productive, spend time where boredom can be escaped but also get some productive output.🫂

Corporate Strategist

I am currently working at an early stage startup as a software engineer and have been working here since around couple of years full time and an internship prior to that. I am getting a decent salary and the work environment is also good.

But While I write this, I have started feeling stagnated and bored at work and feel that I am not growing in career. This is one reason that has led to me start slacking off at work and take long time to complete tasks.😓

However, I don't want this to continue and thus am here for advice. I am trying to apply to various companies but only to receive rejections. Not even getting an interview call. I am planning to prepare for MBA and the exam is in November. But since folks usually prepare for MBA alongwith job so it means I should continue my job if I want to do so which is another problem for me. I am even confused if I want to an MBA since only the product management role out of it attracts me and not the consulting/investment banking once. So I am not sure if I should even do an MBA. 😒

I discussed this with my parents and they asked me to leave job and prepare for UPSC. Honestly, I have some interest in the exam and the job is great as well no doubt but being 26 years old I am not fully sure of taking this call  since it involves a lot of risk.

All this has been causing lot of conundrum in my brain and it would be really helpful if anyone can suggest any things that I am missing out or that can be simplified.🙏

Looking for career advice

I normally use mouse ziggler and take sweet nap in afternoon whenever WFH. 😌 
Anyone else has some mindbowling tricks for such slacks ?!
