😂😂 I woke up at 3am and decided I'd grab my phone "just to check something" before going back to sleep. That gave me an idea for something and I went "it'll only take 5 minutes, I might as well get up and do it before I forget my idea." Anyway as you might suspect, I never went back to bed.

UPDATE: went to bed around 3:35AM CT & 32 alarms muted later, I am up! Time to grab coffee, kickoff the day for work & push off the work I need to do around the house :), I think my brain is like making up for Mon-Weds where I wanted to get back into work stuff after dinner, but instead I just laid on the couch & watched tv (for the life of me could not gather the motivation to get my ass up to to work extra after dinner then, lmao)

I cannot, for the life of me, hyper fixate on PowerPoint presentations 😥

Back when I was a junior engineer, I'd occasionally fixate on code, but I guess I just hate my job too much 😬

Also fun fact! If you are like me & try to set an alarm clock on work & personal phones, but throw 1 phone on one side of the room & the other phone on the other side of the room, & you don’t want to get up, just grab one phone & snooze it, just call the other phone & hang up, it’ll snooze the damn alarm, my brain found out about this mid-wake/sleep last week & now I’m doing it before I’m fully awake & therefore wake up .5 to 1 hour past when I was wanting to! 😅

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

Can anyone relate? If I’m stressed out, I can’t focus on my tasks because my productivity is driven by creative and explorative thought.
