Any tips on balancing work and family and friends and activities during the holidays? I feel like this should be such an enjoyable time and I am just drowning over here.

Force yourself to do it, even when you don't feel like it. I understand how hard it is to find the energy for socializing when you're frazzled from work. But it's always worth doing.

I agree with this
I’ll add, work is not as important as living a life. The tasks are assigned but they can wait. If you’re not living life what’s the point of working

For me, it helps me to check out when I remind myself that my job would replace me with AI if they could. And one day, they might. So why would I lose precious time with my friends and family for a job that doesn't actually care about me? That helps me stay balanced and in the moment with the people in my life that actually matter.

I personally just use a bunch of my time off at the end of the year and call it a day

It helps for me to schedule everything in my calendar so I can visually see what dates will be best for social plans. I space it out as best I can, but I also take time off work around the holidays

I just drop work off my radar
It’ll be there in the new year lol
(I just get the important stuff done and call it close enough)

Hi all, if you’re a mid or senior copywriter in LA looking to join an advertising/entertainment/tech startup on the ground floor, give a shout. You’ll be writing everything from ads featuring celebrities to blog posts, videos, ads for our platform, and probably a few hundred other things. You’ll also work with our parent company, a premier Hollywood production/management company. The role is partially remote (come for key meetings and brainstorms but work remote other days). HMU for more info!

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
