Anyone feels a sever drop in productivity with the slightest trace of sickness?

[ZianaShaw]

I'm not a very productive person but I can manage fine with my uni studies, daily exercise and other hobbies like language learning etc. I devote a significant amount of time to these throughout the week.

However when I get little bit of cold or cough I completely shut down. Even studying gets difficult. Is this normal or am I just lazy? Thoughts?

Yes, I completely shut down when sick.

No, I can work just fine.

Depends on a person's conditioning. If you've never had the luxury of getting babied during a sickness, and told to get to work and work harder... you'll probably function better than someone that's had the luxury of checking out and resting in bed.

Reminds me of my military training... Stress, lack of sleep, pushups for no reason and expected to preform. The point of it was to just get used to dealing with things normal people would cry about. Keep moving, keep doing. The enemy doesn't care if you want to cry or need a safe space... do your fucking job.

Someone that hasn't been tested and put through worse, they probably won't push through the hard times.

I haven't been sick for over fifteen sixteen seventeen years , maybe , and a couple weeks ago I got sick and it kick my butt when I feel it coming on , I can usually stop it but this time I could

Sometimes it's good to fight through it. And sometimes you just gotta let it take its course.\n Chicken Soup really helped me. It's the bone broth that really helps and the vegetables that I put in there.

Sometimes we're on the go so much, our body just says, nope. You're taking the time out because we always try to fight our way through it. So I would say, just go with it, drink fluids, chicken broth or Chicken Soup, some vitamins, some rest. And you're just gonna have to play catch up when you get better

Nah, I have to be very, very sick before anything like that will happen to me.
