I get so stressed on Sundays when I even think about the fact that I start work tomorrow. What do you guys do to combat the Sunday Scaries?

I just don't think about it much. You can't control time so it's going to come whether we like it or not. So enjoy your time off on the weekends the best you can.

I do as much as I can to set myself up for success. We try to batch cook a ton of food to get us through a few days so if something comes up, everyone can warm up some nutritious food. I always eat leftovers for breakfast and lunch at work so, it helps me a ton. Cooking something new is always a fun challenge too so it makes the effort worthwhile for me.

Obviously, that means you hate your job/work! Find something you like or want to do vs something you fear. Or suck it up and realize nobody else is going to pay your rent or buy your food!

Have you considered the severance procedure?

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

Any Atomic Habit readers here? I’m brainstorming identity-based habits for two things I want to change:

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?
