As someone said above, boundaries. It will make you more effective at work and outside as well. Also, boundaries are flexible. Sometimes you may choose to work a little longer and other times you may run some errands during office hours.

like

You have to enforce your own boundaries. If you don’t want to work after a certain hour, then don’t check your email/ go online. People get the message.

Make plans for Friday evening, especially if you’re going away. Either way it makes the weekend feel so much longer.
I also clean and try to grocery shop on Thursdays so I have fewer home to-dos waiting for me over the weekend!

One way is to establish clear and firm boundaries for both! If you have and respect your limits, it becomes easier to make sure one doesn’t damage the other. The specifics of those limits are different for everyone!

Build great relationships at work. If you enjoy your peers, it’s more enjoyable to be at work. If you can’t stand your coworker, it suck to be at work.

So, I started working full-time at a retail store for clothing and accessories and after a brief dispute with my supervisor (my bike broke down which made me come in 20 minutes late to y shift) they told me that it seems like working is not my priority, so to make it easier on me I would only get 20 hours a week. Things are tight as it is, I can't start working half-time. Please someone share some advice or any job opportunities you've seen out there

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
