First proper week back always feels heavier than expected.
I am trying to ease into work without overwhelming myself.
Do you rebuild momentum slowly, or push through the discomfort and get going properly? I am struggling today

I am so overwhelmed today, not going to lie. I was dreading coming to work today. I knew my emails alone were going to hit me like a freight train.

I really relate to this. The inbox shock alone can knock the wind out of you. I usually accept day one as survival mode and rebuild momentum slowly. Pushing too hard just makes the overwhelm last longer for me.

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

Hi fishes,
My LWD is 18th July and I chose vendor pickup for my assets(expected pickup is 10th July).
Is there any limitation or chances of facing issues on Not having laptop with me(for other exit clearances).
Also it would be great if someone can give guidance on exit clearances as I'm worried that I will miss out something.
TIA.
