Try to work in 2 hour increments and stay focused for 2 hours. Then take a small break and pick up your phone for 5-10 mins.

I remind myself that if I focus and get my work done I can have some time for myself before I go to sleep

sooo much worse. i only felt the pressure to get something done if there was a deadline, otherwise i put it off. so i started creating mini-deadlines for myself. i set up meetings with team members to go over my work/questions - forces me to be ready for them. or at the least, i tell my managers when they could expect it finished and i know they expected a reason if it‘s not finished. also making a detailed, realistic to do list each day helps me. as others mentioned above, working in time blocks with allocated time for a break - look into to the pomodoro technique. keeping my phone in another room is also a huge help

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
