Working 10 hours a week

Is it normal that I am only working 10 hours a week and taking one college class on the side? I do it because I feel too tired to do more.

Is It Normal?

  • The more things you do, the easier it is to do things! Or just blame it on CFS and stay lazy :)

  • If you can survive on only 10 hours of work a week, I envy you. I don't want to be like the others who commented and reduce it to laziness. There is probably more to it than that. I used to be in school full-time and working and it overwhelmed me, I got burnt out, and now I am just working and can't even fathom going back to school yet. I miss school though. Sometimes life gets overwhelming, and individual energy can only be stretched so far, and we all have different levels of it at different times in life. If you feel you need to push yourself a little bit to do more, then try it a step at a time, just don't be like me and burn yourself out!

  • This sounds lazy unless you have a huge litter of kids.

  • Depends. How old are you? Do you have kids? Etc

  • If you are this tired now, how are you ever going to hold down a full-time job? Speak with your doctor - you shouldn't be this tired.

  • It's normal for some, but not for most.
    It just depends on how well you cope with all the tasks/stimuli in your life.

    It's sort of the same as shopping: Some people can shop all day and feel fine, others can feel exhausted after being in just one store for too long.

    The trick is to find your limits and try to push them only a little at a time. Challenge yourself to do more, but don't over do it or you could find yourself completely overwhelmed and you will regress.

  • not normal if you are under the age of 60. unless there is something seriously wrong with you.

    being bored or lazy feels tiring.
