For those in smaller CROs, how do you manage workload across multiple studies without burning out? I can't figure it out, and the longer I go on like this without a solid fix, the sooner I will completely crash out.

I had the same issue and what helped me was to develop lightweight cross-study playbooks for routine tasks to minimize rework, and hold short daily check-ins (10–15 minutes) to surface blockers early. Try your best to leverage automation and templates for routine tasks and batch processing wherever possible.

My skin has always been a little dry. I’ve used plain coconut oil on my face for years (as a moisturizer) but recently stopped because my fave would just get red after application. Not itchy but I definitely felt like my skin was reacting. Any suggestions for non-acne related calming face washes or moisturizers?

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.
