Is anyone else having trouble focusing? What strategies do you use to help with focus?

Since the election, and especially in the last couple of weeks, I’ve had an incredibly difficult time focusing on important tasks.

I get a bit nihilistic at the worst times, wondering what the point of my day job is with what feels like the collapse of society happening around us. It’s also been a really stressful month or so at work, which doesn’t help with trying to focus on the edge of burnout.

The last few days have been incredibly unproductive, but also not restful. I’m just sort of stuck in a loop.

Anyone out there feeling the same, or does anyone have suggestions for getting out of this loop?
