Adderall. And if you don’t have that, get some sunlight and switch working spots. Keep a folder of wins you’ve had in the past to look back on because if you’re down, you’re more likely to forget all the positives and focus on the negatives.

Work from home has been great for many reasons, but the confession part of this post is how much a loud, disorganized, chaotic environment raises my stress levels.

I used to be a top performer before rona but have been so unmotivated for the last year of WFH and my performance is tanking because of it.

WFH was okay at first, but the longer I'm stuck sitting at the same desk in my house alone all day the more meaningless everything feels to me. I don't know what the solution is, but I'm so tired

I spoke to a recruiter about a month ago regarding a position. The comp base variable split was 70/30 which was a great guarantee compared to 50/50 split on same OTE I have now.
