For some reason, I'm struggling to find balance and feeling burnt out already. The year started rough on a personal level and it has significantly affected my work. Hoping for a better rest of the year.

Good!

So far 2024 has been fantastic. I got a promotion at the end of January, so I feel I am on a great career path. My new responsibilities require that I work extra hours which has been difficult for my kids. I've had to change our schedule around a bit, but we are all getting used to it.

Well, not great but that is more my doing than anything else. I have a horrible habit of loading up my schedule and over-extending myself a work. Then I make the same mistakes in my personal life because I don't want to miss out on life because I am working so hard. So, I am always stressed out and tired. But again, I have no one to blame but myself. How is 2024 going for you so far?

I find that some weeks are better than others. I have to strike the balance, and sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm not getting paid when I'm not in the office.

Not great at my current team but looking forward to new changes!

This year has been very interesting and unexpected for me. But in a good way!!

Not great. And heading into another wave of busy season so let’s see how long this lasts
