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

Yup

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

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

Hello Guys,

I joined
Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?

As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.
