This may also be unconventional but instead of making yourself the go-to person or the one that everyone look up to or everyone rely on at your job (for job security, for ego or for whatever other reasons), make yourself redundant. Make sure others can step in anytime if you were hit by a bus.

Or if you want to go on vacation

More so now that I have to manage others. Take time off as you need to recharge, even if just an afternoon. Block off time on your schedule to get priority work done

Take some time off!

I feel like I go from days of being totally overwhelmed to days of twiddling my thumbs waiting for approval. No in between!

This is almost worse for me me because I can't relax even when it's slow because I am dreading some sudden downpour of work and deadlines

Sometimes I feel like this watch is just too versatile - I’ve had it for four years and still want to grab it out of the box every day. When I wear other watches I find myself regretting not wearing the GMT. Anyone else have this experience with one watch in their collection?
