“MY MAIN WORK TOOL: MYSELF” AAAAAAAAAAAAAHhttps://twitter.com/syswarren/status/1177207445556518913 …
i'm struggling to express my horror here without being mean to the OP i don't know who needs to hear this but: please consider the possibility that relating to yourself primarily as a tool for "work" is inevitably going to cause burnout no matter how good you get at self-care
broke: hustle culture, work hella hard woke: self-care culture, take care of myself so i can work bespoke: take care of myself because i'm a human and i matter
in fact, getting better at self-care might make the problem worse, by staving off the crisis that would cause you to seriously reflect on how you relate to "work" as a source of meaning, validation, etc.
this has been a theme of my thoughts lately, how lots of advice is about improving coping mechanisms in a way that delays crisis, and how this isn't obviously good in the long run kinda think people would be better off having crises as quickly as they have the resources for
@utotranslucence said once that she didn't trust anybody who hadn't gone through at least 3 crises and i think there's a lot to that, especially in the choice of 3 specifically
after your 1st or 2nd crisis you might think you're done but after #3 you're like "oh. i see."
I am a human and I matter, but there’s a lot I’d like to see manifest in the world, and I know the only way to get there is by taking action. This is how I understand the OP’s use of the word ‘work’. Is there a better word?
i don't really have a better word 
i am in some sense more horrified by "tool" than by "work," although i'm definitely making assumptions about the OP that might not be true of them specifically
> I'm a tool > I'm a tool of myself > I'm a tool of myself, for work Truly cursed perspective
Making yourself present at hand to yourself 
Suppose I differ here. I don't really believe there is a perfectly pure and gentle relationship to self that can be achieved in this system. We cope with the insane pressure and it's ok. It's ok to break down and rebuild from scratch too. We are ok.
Exactly! And ultimately it's not about you. (No theological connotations) Or rather, it's about more than you.
