It's been two weeks since I started working at my new job.

I'm in my 50s and have no prior experience; I'm working at a call center.

For the first week, I started with 4 hours a day.

I learned the workflow in two days, and by the third day, I was already answering actual calls.

Even though I'm sitting the whole time and my body isn't tired at all,
my brain is constantly working at full capacity because everything is new to me.

From the second week onwards, I'm working 8 hours a day, and I'm flustered every day by all the different types of calls.

When I get home, I have no motivation to do anything, and I fall asleep as soon as I sit on the sofa.

The fatigue from learning new things in my 50s is completely different from physical fatigue.

I'm sharing my experiences from these past two weeks exactly as they happened.

■ Questions I'd like to ask everyone

・For those of you who started a new job in your 50s, how was the mental fatigue in the beginning?

How long did it take you to get used to it?

・What do you do on days when you come home from work and can't do anything?

Please also share any tips for cutting corners on housework. I would be very grateful if you could share your thoughts in the comments section.
