Changing my work schedule was the best thing I could have done

I used to work Mon-Fri, 8 hr shifts. It sucked. Mondays are the most busy, hectic days in the call center, and that day would just wreck the rest of my whole week.

Now I work 9 hrs on Tues, Wed, and Thur, 8 hrs on Fri, and 5 hrs on Sat. It has been wonderful. I feel like I get so much more done because I have not only Sun and Mon off, but also half of Saturday. I've been able to consistently keep the house clean, and I've even started to meal prep so I am spending way less money on lunches while working.

My savings are finally building back up a little, so I'm feeling less stress about that too. I feel like I'm finally regaining control of my life.

I’m absolutely elated that you got your new work schedule!
It makes me so happy to hear you’re feeling refreshed and really regaining that control of your own life. It sounds like it’s been such a positive change for your energy, your home, and even your savings—and that’s huge! I’m proud of you for making it work so well. You got this!
I’ve worked 12s and 24s for forever. I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would want to go to the same place 5 days a week for 8 hrs. If you live half an hour away from your job that’s 5 hrs, at least, in your vehicle to get to that bullshit.
