Is anyone feeling like time is flying by so fast that you fear that you're wasting time? I joined Amazon ever since the pandemic started, and I hate how my life revolves around work. My work life balance is fine, but I cannot stop feeling empty and purposeless. I've only known a small circle of friends and acquaintances, but I meet them probably once every 3 weeks because they are all busy. My whole family lives in East Asia, so I don't know anyone in Canada to emotionally rely on. So in the end, work is dominating my life because I don't have social priorities. No motivation to do any kind of work at this point...

    Do some volunteer work. Help the less fortunate. It will open up your perspectives. Happiness multiplies when shared.

    Force yourself to cook a complicated dish at least once every week. Start watching some shows on netflix so that youโ€™ll have something to look for at the end of each day.

    I feel the same, I miss college. I spent everyday with my friends. Now Iโ€™m a corporate drone. ๐Ÿค–

    Sounds like youโ€™re overworked. Try prioritizing tasks and be transparent about estimates and blockers so that your manager know what to expect. Otherwise you end up working a lot and no one will ask you to stop.
