How to avoid Sunday scaries and how does your pre-Monday look like (i.e. Sunday night)? I'm a corporate associate and have a ton of work next week. I could get ahead and work over the weekend, but I feel like I at least need Saturday to fully log off at work. How do you prepare for the week ahead and at what time so you start working on Sundays?

When deal timelines allow for it, set realistic expectations with your teams that take into account time you need for activities like sleep, exercise, and time with SO/friends

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

Considering a jump from Chicago to New York. I truly love living in Chicago and how far this salary gets me but I definitely want to try to make it in New York.

The only problem is my significant other has a lot of negative opinions about New York. I ultimately want to return to DC but I feel like a few good years in New York would be really good for me. In terms of a place to live, where in Manhattan can I find a place that's similar to River North in Chicago?
