Hi, R
I know you have a doctorate, so no one's going to accuse you of underachieving. The question I'd ask is, "What needs to be done now - big or easy?" And "What do you need - a challenge or a break?"
Me - My daughter's COVID test came back negative. Yay!
Me - I'm just plugging away. I've hit a good part in writing. That means I'm enjoying it and I'm being productive. Come to think of it, that's both big and easy. I'm savoring it. This doesn't happen all that often.
