Currently in consulting and while I always felt I needed the excitement of changing roles and projects, I am exhausted. I am in a senior role with a full-time project, business development responsibilities and tons of other internal stuff. I am jumping between tasks and can’t decide what to do first. I notice I am much better when I go into the clients office where I am trying to stay focused just on my project. Thinking about a move to industry. Anyone any experience with that?

I try to break up and schedule my day as best I can. If I have compliance stuff (mandatory trainings, updating DPN, Independence, etc) I will try to do it first thing in the morning. Then standard client time. Then shift to coach stuff/RFP stuff/PRD stuff. I also use a checklist (I literally hand write it so I'm thinking about and prioritizing the tasks) to help me not forget what needs to be done in what order.

I mean it's definitely not always perfect and sometimes as things pour in that can make it a bit harder but we've got this! 💪💪

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver.
