Last few weeks I have been obsessed with some project at work. It was something I was dreading not doing for some time, but eventually took up because no one else would do it, resulting in burnout.

Now, I am a Network Engineer by profession and this project requires skills in Linux, PHP, Perl etc. so was challenging at first, but eventually I got hooked and it took over my life. Some examples of the madness include

1. Waking up in the morning anxious to go to office (But not in a good way)
2. Sitting at my desk for hours without moving
3. Ignoring all other projects
4. Not realising it was already night and I have a home
5. Going home and researching about the project on my phone
6. Not able to sleep thinking about the project
7. Having dreams about the project

After 2 weeks now that almost all major challenges are over, I am left spent, exhausted and close to burnout.

Need some time to divert my thoughts to something else.
