the most fulfilled i've been at my job was last year during lockdown - i still had to go into my workplace, but they put me on different duties so I was helping the other half of the department, tending to animals, like fish, snakes, insects - doing feeds and cleans and stuff. It meant that every day i had a solid amount of mostly manual labour to do and i would just go into a flow state and blitz from 9-3.
normally i have a constant level of anxiety and restlessness because i don't have fixed duties to do - my normal role is essentially 'be on call in case someone needs you, do stocktakes and update risk assessments'
