I had back-to-back calls today and realized I barely looked away from my screen for hours. By the end of the day, I felt busy but not productive. What’s one thing you do during the workday that actually helps you reset?

Clearing my inbox. I don't know what it is about it, but there's something very satisfying about responding to emails and deleting old messages. It's probably because I can see the immediate results of my efforts, which isn't true for pretty much everything else I do at work each day.

I very often decline calls. If there isn’t a set agenda or truly a reason I need to be on - I decline.

It sounds silly, perhaps, but after lunch I almost always find time to play Wordle. Just solving the puzzle and thinking about the odds of which letters can go where somehow revives my thinking. There's something about taking a break where you're using your head that feels like a bit of a reset.

I studied finance in undergrad and had a couple of internal audit internships. I only started a few month ago but I never saw myself doing IT Audit and I don’t like it thus far! Would I need to get a CPA in order to move into audit or something more finance/accounting oriented like FDD, Valuation, etc.? (Still need to get to 150, thinking of doing an online MAcc)

Dear Bowl Members,

I beleive all the members of this group are in the communication and branding industry - a field where proactive communication and community participation ideally should be the highest but it's not so as of now. Instead, consulting, tech, developer bowls are more active than this bowl.

I request all of you to be proactive and spend 15 minutes a day or every two days to answer the queries posted by members. We can make a difference to someone's life/career with a response.
