I find doing something that I can engage in fully helps. I play guitar (learned as an adult) and that really helps refocus.

If that fails, I also love boxing…!

I read but lately a puzzle with wine is an amazing distraction. I just finished one that I started thanksgiving week. It was only 550 pieces, but it has been a great help to decompress bc every time I put a piece in place or multiple pieces, it satisfies my need for solving puzzles and gives an immediate sense of accomplishment. Some nights I’ll do it for 30 mins - an hr after the kids are down.

Close your laptop and give yourself 15 min to shake it off (blast music and dance, go for a walk, phone a friend). Think about what you enjoy mindlessly and do that. Take a drive, roll down the windows and scream. Take 10 min to think about what you learned that you take into tomorrow. Then Bless and release.

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
