I keep a pair of shoes by my desk and put them on before work. Sounds silly, but it flips my brain into “work mode” and keeps me focused. Plus, I’m way less tempted to crawl back into bed.

I used this hack in college! Good idea.

I like to go for a walk or exercise in the morning in exchange for a commute to get my head straight. At the end of the day I try to close out all my browser tabs and apps to shutdown my macbook. I also have a notebook to jot down todos…which I never get too, but gets them out of my head so i can switch into dad mode.

This is good advice. I will definitely workout and have to compartmentalize.

A standing desk made a huge difference for me. I have ADHD, so I'm constantly up and out of my chair, going from one thing to the next to the next. A standing desk made that significantly easier, and I also made it easier for me to get back into work mode instead of standing up "just for a second" and then an hour passes!

Same! I have a feeling I will need to take little walks every once in awhile.

A mid day walk

I don’t work at home everyday. I go to libraries, coffee shops. While the weather is nice, I use my hotspot to work outside.

Making sure you have your daily caffeine fixed planned out and ready to go. Nothing slows me down, like not being properly caffeinated.

I wouldn't have nearly as many issues with conservative principles if they weren't so hypocritical in how they enact them.

I'm not opposed to lowering taxes, smaller government, and respecting individual rights, but they simultaneously support bailing out big businesses, expanding church and state, and massive deficit spending to pay for dumb wars and tax loopholes for hedge fund managers.

I'd rather see our government provide food, healthcare, and shelter than any of the above things.

Need advice! I accepted an offer mid Oct and just found out my new company opened a new role above me at the title I was asking for originally but was told I would move up when they were ready to build out the team. I am over qualified for my role now and already meet the exp of the new role above me. Very salty and feel like they are setting me up to feel stuck before I even start. What do I did?

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

I recently accepted a job that I quite overqualified for because I’m in need of a job. I got hired as a Marketing Manager and work directly with the Marketing Director. Come to find out my director is still in school and has absolutely no marketing experience. She’s been with the company for 4 months. They seem to want to utilize my complete skills set and make up for her lack of marketing knowledge but maintain her position as director and pay me a entry level marketing manager salary. Advice?

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing.

I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.
