I went through a major burnout a couple years ago that knocked the wind out of me completely. I couldn’t focus, I stopped caring about things I used to love, and every little task felt overwhelming. What helped me recover wasn’t one big solution but a lot of small, consistent changes. I started walking every day without my phone, just to clear my head. I also stopped checking emails after a certain hour, even if it made me anxious at first. What helped you most?

Getting off my phone was a big help for me. The pressure to constantly feel productive is a lot. Just taking a moment to not think about anything important is something we could all stand to do.

What I've found useful is to just disengage completely from work in the evenings. I do what I can to purge work from my thoughts and I just spend time doing whatever I feel like. I realized that I was putting myself in the position of always being at work, at least in a mental sense. And no one imposed that mindset on me, I inadvertently did it to myself.

Timesaver: If you’re working on a file saved on the cloud (teams, share point, etc.) and need the URL to communicate out, tap FILE -> INFO -> COPY PATH and the url will be on your clipboard. Pre-established sharing privileges of orig folder will apply. Hopefully this saves you time reshuffling open windows! Bonus: Same on standard MS suite files.

Hello all, my first post. Anyone else feel like their general manager won't promote them because they're afraid you'll make them look bad. Like they don't do their job well enough so you'll outshine them? Do you stay? Leave? Try to build the relationship? It's been a year. @Aimbridgehospitalityllc

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
