Do you take all your outfits out on Sunday night?

Ugh I’m lying in bed reading Fishbowl and wishing it were still Sunday.

Look at my calendar for what’s coming up, spend Sunday organizing my physical space and doing laundry etc.

Laundry is too real lol

I use my weekends to relax so I can be energized for the week. I try to start slow on Mondays and gain momentum as the week goes by. I organize and prioritize my tasks on Monday and make sure I am caught up on emails and voicemails. I don't ever want to hit the ground running and be stressed on Monday's. There's time enough for stress by the time I hit mid-week - lol.

If I have time in the evening I try to catch up on emails and review my calendar so I can prep for meetings on Monday. I also make sure laundry is caught up and the kitchen is clean so my Monday morning runs a little smoother

I just sleep and relax. I started avoiding parties and outside activities during the weekends a year ago. I usually just go out to treat myself dinner every once in a while. I do it so I can replenish my energy and use it for another week's work.

^i have a similar reaction… but I can’t help but wonder how my social calendar suffers 😳

I look at my work calendar and then I plan my meals based on how much effort it will take. I am not too big on meal prep so at least my meals are planned.

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
