How do you all set better boundaries? I find myself working weekends to catch up and stay on top of things and it’s not even busy season. I am burning myself out quickly and I don’t know why I just don’t stop. Can anyone relate?

Honestly this starts with your mindset. You need to tell yourself that you’re always going to take care of yourself first, no matter what. Work is important but never more important than your overall well-being.

From there, try planning out your work for at least a few days in advance. One thing I’m doing this year is planning out 3-4 days at a time per week. That leaves 1-2 days open so that if something random comes up (which always happens), I can shift something I originally planned to one of those open days. That way, it doesn’t completely throw off my week for what I planned to do that week.

Can anyone offer advice for helping with adderall side effects? I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am new to medication. I have been taking 20 mg xr in the morning but have a terrible crash around 2/3pm each day where I just get very very tired. Doctor recommended 10mg ir mid day to combat but I still experience pretty severe fatigue as a side effect. Just wondering if anyone has found any natural strategies to cope or mitigate. Thanks!
