Been struggling greatly with imposter syndrome at work. I just feel like I’m never good enough and it really affects me mentally and I am stressed all the time. Who here can relate and does anyone have any tips to get past this?

I just remind myself that much dumber people than me have jobs way harder than mine, are making way more money and doing way worse just because they don't doubt and second-guess themselves. I know it sounds silly and we shouldn't compare ourselves to others but it really helps.

You have to determine the root cause of it. Often, Imposter Syndrome comes from one of two things: your parents or a supervisor who made you feel incompetent. They sometimes moved the bar when it came to defining success, so start there. Find its origin story.

Sure thing.

Comparision is the killer of joy.

I have always had a little bit of imposter syndrome. I think a lot of how I move past it is positive affirmations and reminding myself they wouldn't have hired me to do this role if I wasn't fully capable of doing it.

I’m helping my GF with excel and need help lol. She works at a hospital and is trying to make an excel schedule for doctors to reserve rooms. She wants drop downs for days of the week (column K) and also different drop down menus in column P for the reserved time slots.

Is it possible to do this with two sets of drop downs (days of week + time slots) and not use index match here? She could make 5 tables for each day of the week, but prefers one table that can be easily navigated by doctors.
