Anyone else get incredibly mentally exhausted when writing a lot?

Just thought I'd throw this out into the ether as I'm now in bed, very tired, but most of all mentally exhausted. I've written something like 30k words in the last 2 weeks on a run of crazy motivation and inspiration, combined with a touch of discipline, but it's so mentally draining.

I do physical sports and dance and they're also mentally taxing but nowhere near this level of concentration.

Does anyone else feel this when they write a lot in a short period? Not just writing but also planning the next volume as I go, so I'm genuinely exhausted just from thinking and typing things with a keyboard.

I need to know if other people experience this. If so, what helps you keep energised when writing a lot in a short period?

Is there a shop in the UK that sells oversized/boxy t-shirts that have slightly bigger neck holes than normal crewnecks?

Hi, I have a sensory thing in my neck where if there's something touching the front bottom of my neck I'll feel this sense of dread and anxiety constantly.

I've tried UNIQLO's t-shirts, ones from NEXT, Zara, Primark, H&M, and such but every single one's crewnecks have neck holes that are that tiny bit too small and constantly touch the bottom of my neck. Tbf I haven't tried the ones from COS or Arket yet so I will try those soon.

Does anyone know any specific shirt that any of the above companies sell or a brand that generally has bigger neck holes in their shirts that I could look into? Most of the t-shirts I wear are old ones and the one offs I've found in charity shops or in clothing stores abroad that I can't get here (LC Waikiki and Defacto specifically have great t-shirts that I wear a lot, but can't get here, even though I know they're "fast fashion" and not high quality).

Any suggestions or advice would be really appreciated!

I like smartlauncher because it allowed me to keep the frog in the weather app. I've got the weather app disabled and the weather button in the clock used to link to the Google app weather page.

I do not want AccuWeather. I have never once wanted it. The only reason I use this launcher is because it provided the exact thing I wanted. Now I can't figure out how to get that back and would really like some help figuring it out. I hate that they completely changed the previous default without the option to keep it as it was.

Would someone be able to help?

EDIT: Okay it was unbelievably infuriating for me to try and find a solution, and there just wasn't one. I even tried making the weather button link to a page that would give me what I wanted but it couldn't find an app to make that work. In the end I just downgraded the app and will never update it again.
