I’m receiving catalogs all of a sudden. Amazon sent one, for instance. But there have been others, all well designed and from brands I never thought would have catalogs. What’s behind this flurry of catalogs being sent by snail mail?

They probably save it for this time of year (Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Hanukkah).

I think it's kind of a nod to nostalgia. I get some every year and I always like seeing them, it reminds me of being a kid and seeing the season's toy catalog. I haven't seen any numbers on an upsurge in catalog mailings, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's catching on.

i do believe that print can break through the clutter. you're def competing a lot less than your email inbox. i've been recently looking for a loan option for my partner and between the offers i got in the mail and email i was able to find some good solutions. i do think the timing has to be right though. catalogs for xmas shopping make sense.

I have so many deadlines lined up and need to work over 15 hours each day. I am already burned out and have no motivation to work. Part of me dares me to not work and face the consequences, at the end of the day its just a job. Is it normal to feel this way? I am just not able to find the motivation to work. Anyone who has felt this way, how did you get through such situations and lack of motivation?

Hello, I need your advice. I am currently in management in primary care. I have a strong management background in specialty hospital practice management. Recently some leadership positions have become available and I feel as if my leader has discouraged me from applying. His take is that I should take certain steps before applying, however I have the experience from my previous employment in this leadership role. Would I be overstepping to apply anyways ?

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine!
