How do you not let family problems affect you?

I sent a message to my stepdad to tell him happy Father’s Day on the messenger app and found out he had unfriended me (not sure when it happened). My stepdad and my mom have been having issue with their marriage for years. Anyway I’m an A1 and I was told to start senioring a project next week. I’m very stressed and at the same time bumped out cause of my family issues. How can I let this go and focus on my own career and life and be free?

If possible, take a few days off. The little mini break will help you to deal with this. If it is fine to talk to your mom, talk to her. Sometimes talking to people will help. I hope things are better done for you (I went through this with my own dad so I know). Take one thing at a time. Dealing with these emotions will need time.

Write it out and get it out of your head. Then use work as a distraction

I try to drown out everything around me with music and focusing on a task. Be careful with this tactic - I accidentally got really snippy with the A1 who was asking me questions because I was trying to drown things out and he kept asking questions. Sometimes just go to the bathroom and breathe. Take a walk. Do whatever you need to do.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
