Recommend writing down all your tasks on a sticky note and then writing how much time each will take. Start with the easy ones and work your way down to shorten the list.

If the tasks seem too big, make sub tasks.

You get used to it. You can’t change the behavior of others, but you can ward off their negative comments etc. Practicing gratefulness helps. Be grateful that you are in a reputable firm, for all the hard work it took to get there etc.

Hi! Trying to sell a client on casting someone with a disability (that in no way affects or changes the story) in a film. Their concern is it will 'add an unnecessary layer'. Does anyone have links to a good presentation/data set to prove the benefit of normalising the inclusion of disability? Want to convince them with data. TIA!!!

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
