I do this because I’m always really tired. You can try to set your alarm a little earlier to give you time to scroll

I do the same thing! Agree with above, I set my alarm a little earlier so I can lay in bed and vedge on my phone a little longer...not sure if it’s the best solution but I feel like I need that time to be worthless 🤣

I do this too and started to set my alarm later so that I don't have time to do this anymore. It's counter intuitive but a good way to force yourself out of the habit. Now I end up scrolling as I move or not scrolling at all instead of scrolling while still in bed.

Put your phone in another room. This was surprisingly difficult the first week but then I could use the extra 10 minutes to wake up more naturally and try to meditate (try. I’m wildly unsuccessful and meditating)

Curious as to the underlying reason ... do you think this is because you’re tired? Not-engaged or passionate about what you’re getting up to do? Maybe some depression?

Principal 1 is right, no motivation, lack of passion and no real appreciation is what's making me not want to leave the bed at all. Also the fact that my SM is a slave driver and thinks he owns my ass

Don't scroll until after you are ready (like during breakfast)

I have been in the electrical / Electronics field with an exp of 6+ yrs. To be honest these fields do not pay as much as their IT counterparts. People in IT discuss on being underpaid at 20LPA whereas ours is not even half of that. I need to know now is that with 6+ years of industry exp. Can I switch my streams for a well paid job. If yes please do help me out. Even otherwise I am open to suggestions and advice.

Somewhat Deloitte specific, but the Deloitte bowl is mean so posting here

I’m up for promotion this year, and I’ve been working so hard and my feedback is amazing and I’ve wanted this for awhile. Now, an immediate relative is actively dying and I may go out on a short leave, and I also have some PTO planned so that I can visit family oversees later this fall. With all that’s happening, I’m not going to hit my 90% utilization target, which is a checkbox in my promo. (cont).

Have any of you ladies managed to get over an ex after being hung up on them for years? My ex and I broke up two years ago but I still think about him every day.

While the pain has become much more bearable, it’s never gone away. Will it ever?

I asked my coworker if he is single, he said “He sure is!” and gave me his number. We texted briefly but then didn’t respond when I asked if he had any fun plans this wknd. Now idk what to do.
