Guys I am having a productivity issue. In the weekends I am laying in bed addicted to social media. On the weekdays, I am fine, doing work. I need to study for the gmat. Maybe a standing desk is the solution? I normally work outside my apartment at the client site or office.

A piece of furniture isn’t going to have a long lasting effect on what seems to be a motivation issue. Talk to yourself and figure out the intrinsic issue or talk to a specialist.

I get on video calls with people who also want to be productive. Has worked very well. Whenever we want to take a break we talk/hangout/watch a show. GF is studying for gmat, I am trying to learn a language, I have buddies in grad school or trying to get certs, etc.

Make a study plan and have a buddy hold you accountable. I have terrible procrastination problems but that worked for me with the gmat.

I’m exhausted as well. Shelter in place is like staying in jail. After awhile it gets to you.

Start your day on the weekends with exercise. Once you start moving you’ll feel more desire to be productive. Use an app that monitors your usage to help break the habit. Institute screen free blocks of time. Also listen to your body. Perhaps you are driving yourself too hard during the week and crashing on the weekends.

Definitely helped with productivity

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
