She travels the world 🌍
Runs her own company.
Walks into new cities alone.

From the outside, it looks impressive. Successful. Even glamorous at times—airports, hotels, stamps in a passport. But most days she barely sees the place she’s in. Work fills every hour. Hotel rooms blur into one another. The city stays outside the window.

She misses her children more than she can put into words. Misses routines, hugs, noise, the feeling of being needed in the small moments. Time zones steal bedtime stories. Screens replace arms.

And some days… she feels like a bad mother.

Because she’s not there.
Because she’s always leaving.
Because no success ever quiets that voice that says, “A good mother would choose differently.”

But she’s not chasing freedom or luxury. She’s chasing security. Stability. A future she hopes her children will one day understand.

She carries guilt and responsibility at the same time.
She provides from afar and loves without limits.
She shows up for her family in the only way she can right now.

And even when it feels like she’s failing, she keeps going—because this, too, is love.
Messy. Painful. Sacrificial.

‘January Can’t Be Arsed Syndrome’

THE WORLD is this week being brought to a near-total halt by the annual outbreak of "January Can’t Be Arsed Syndrome", a mysterious condition that leaves billions of people technically alive but emotionally unavailable.

The condition, which affects an estimated 96.7% of humans and several domestic animals, typically begins on January 2nd and is expected to last until “sometime in spring, or possibly forever”.

Office worker Melanie Mutton, 38, said:

“I wouldn’t say I’m sad. I just feel like everything requires an unreasonable amount of effort, including opening apps I normally like.”

Experts believe the syndrome is caused by the abrupt global withdrawal from Festive Dopamine, a powerful seasonal substance generated by food, social gatherings, time off, and lying to yourself about how rested you feel.

Professor Kenji Nakamura of the International Institute For Things Everyone Knows explained:

“In December, the human brain runs on novelty, sugar, alcohol, and suspended consequences. In January, it is forced to confront inboxes.”

Key Symptoms Reported Worldwide:

* Staring into space while thinking “I should probably do something”
* Feeling tired after being awake for three hours
* Needing a rest after minor tasks like showering
* Finding both work and hobbies ‘a bit much, honestly’
* Considering a nap a valid long-term strategy

Economic Impact

The global economy is estimated to lose $3 trillion per day as workers:

* Open their laptops
* Sigh
* Check messages
* Close their laptops
* Decide it’s too soon to be tired but too late to start anything

A CEO in Singapore confirmed:

“Nobody is doing nothing. But nobody is doing anything either.”

The Annual ‘New Me’ Hallucination

Scientists have also identified a brief but intense early-January phase in which citizens worldwide:

* Join gyms
* Download productivity apps
* Buy notebooks they will never open
* Say things like “this is my year” with terrifying confidence
* Disappear quietly by mid-January

Government Response

Governments across the world have urged calm and issued coordinated advice:

“Try your best”
“Maybe go outside, if possible”
“Have you considered simply not overthinking everything?”

Several nations are reportedly considering declaring January a

low-power mode month.

Prognosis

Most sufferers are expected to recover once:

Days become slightly less dark (or slightly less hot, depending where you live)
They have something to look forward to that isn’t “eventually it will be spring”
Or they emotionally accept that this is, in fact, the year

Final Word From Doctors

Medical professionals stress that January Can’t Be Arsed Syndrome is:

* Not a recognised illness
* Not curable
* But extremely real

And remind the public:

“If everything feels about 30% harder than usual, that’s not a personal failure. That’s just January.”

Flying to the Maldives at 3:45am with an 8 hour layover in Abu Dhabi on a Saturday night might be the worst idea you’ve ever had. FFS.

REAL career highs are not promotions, successful initiatives or boosting the share price, but the buzz of a training course that finishes before lunch.
