I'm getting burnt out, but quitting either job isn't an option right now. Do you have any quick-fix tips for recharging when you're feeling overwhelmed with multiple jobs?

I've got nothing unfortunately. I've spent the morning bouncing between tasks for different clients. Some copywriting, an audit of an email account, working on a landing page redesign now. I'm telling myself things won't always be this frenetic, but I'm not sure I believe it.

Do you have the luxury of taking some time off from all of them simultaneously? It may be hard, but that would be the first action to take. Otherwise, I would say you need to consider dropping one of them. Praying for your perseverance!

Take vitamin supplements, meditation, and make sure you have enough sleep.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
