Honestly, I'm exhausted.

It's always been like that, in a sense. Like, I always say that you're a pretty shitty journalist if you run out of stories to write.
-
But, it both feels and (I think) is substantively different now. There are important stories that I think need to be written that I miss.
-
A lot of the times now, it's triage: What stories do I think I can tell better—or that I don't think others will be telling? I focus there.
-
Oftentimes, I'm putting things on Twitter that get one or two tweets and would have been a half-day's story before.
-
And, I know I'm not alone in feeling this way! Here's one other person, for example:https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/844752444211023872 …

So, yeah, I just wanted to say something bc I know people see me working a lot, etc. But, I do get tired and frustrated, just like everyone!
-
And, that's ok — and why I do *try* to remember self-care. But, the perfectionist kicks in sometimes and I do wear myself out.
-
At those moments, I do have to stop, take a breath, and remember that I won't be doing anyone any good if I don't take care of myself.
-
And, in different ways and to different degrees, it's the same thing with everyone.
-
So, you're not alone! And, as I say (and will really try to listen to tonight): Be good to one another — and ourselves.
-
It's Thursday. I'm gonna sign off for the night, but I'll catch y'all in the morn. Night, all. Let us be good to one another—and ourselves.

And there are the plethora of stories that feel obsolete by the time we've written them because of this insanity

I can only imagine. I feel similarly and I work exclusively in tech.

I'd like to think this was different when newsrooms were bigger, but then I read about Mencken filing 5K words on a Sunday.
