Last weekend, I spent 10 hours chatting with family and friends (partner’s side, my side...) Today about 3 hours. Do any of you just bow out of invitations to chat with your family or just cut the convo after 20 min?

In person I can talk to my best friends forever and hangout with them non stop. But Facetime calls go 2 hours long or more and I can’t sit infront of my phone for that long everytime 😫

I’m with you. I feel screen drunk the end of most days. I’ve found having standing Zoom dates helps. I’ve got a few people, family and friends, who I check in with once a week at a scheduled time.

Sooo... say no? Say, I gotta go?

Yeah it’s tough when there’s a lonely divorced or widowed parent or grand-parent who want to talk every week. And being like “hey sorry don’t really feel like talking. I know I’m your only highlight of the week, but my social life is insane.” I’m sure my situation is common.
But yeah I could just cut it short vs let it drag for sure.

It’s a phone call. Treat it as such.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
