I’m feeling ridiculously overwhelmed. I’m moving to a new house in 19 days and work is exploding with stuff. Had a few giant projects dropped in my lap due to a partner leaving and I’m feeling beyond stressed. Could use some words of encouragement.

Sheesh. Really feel for you! When it rains it pours. BUT - you absolutely will survive this. In fact, you can THRIVE in it. You are resilient and this is temporary. A new house and a job are blessings. (Trying to reframe, but I know it feels delusional).

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

If you use the pomodoro method for time focus and tracking, do you bill in those increments or just keep your billablr timer going the whole time? For example, I work in 25 minute increments for large projects then I get a break. Do I bill .5 for that increment and restart my billing or keep my billing continuously going thereby not rounding up for those 5 min? I have just kept my timer going.
