Best way to decompress and fight burnout?

Do an activity you know you have been needing to do (veg out, work out, play games, read a book, spend time with loved ones). After, make a list of where you want to be in a years time. Focus on one of them and slowly make your way down the list. I find this helps people refocus on what is important for them outside of school, get some personal needs met, and feel less burn out. When we can focus and give purpose to the things that are important to us, we tend to make time for them rather than dismiss them.

Hi everyone! I’ve been a Retirement Representative for two years, with a HS Diploma. I am having a hard time being able to grow in the company, along with other gripes I’d rather not go into. What jobs in finance can I apply for without a college degree as long as I’m willing to get the required licensure? (That I would have a shot at getting hired).

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again.

Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
