Very. I feel like every 10 minutes there’s more huge news that just makes all this more and more frightening

I recommend the book “Notes on a Nervous Planet” by Matt Haig. I started reading it before coronavirus and it could not be more timely. It’s about anxiety in the digital age with the constant stream of information

It’s understandable. You turn on the TV or radio, you hear about Corona. You can’t go to a theater, eat out, watch sports, or even come on this app without hearing about COVID-19.

Thankfully I’m listening to Coast to Coast AM and instead of talk about how COVID-19 was made in a lab and is a conspiracy theory, they’re reconnecting callers with departed loved ones. 😌 So comforting to hear something else.

Anxiety over COVID-19? Fly a kite. Bake some brownies. Take an epsom salt bath. Do something that gets your mind off the crazy going on around us.

CUT TO a very stressed-looking woman trying to fly a kite on 2nd ave in NYC. A cab honks. A homeless person tries to help her. He coughs. She starts to silently cry.

Yes. Been having anxiety all week, and work is so busy right now, but I’m so distracted yet unable to to anything.

Best trick I’ve learned as a real estate agent: if you are trying to sell a home, ask the homeowners to bake some bread or cookies. Sounds silly, but the smell will fill the house and make prospective buyers feel warm and cozy. It's like magic!

A great opportunity with a top brand has come up. I have not actively looked to make a move, but this role and brand looks really promising with a greater earning potential.

Any suggestions on how to leverage for a leveling of my current salary and role which I have been told is in the works but I have not seen any sort of movement to give me confidence that it will happen?

I'm looking to pivot from consulting into tech. I've gotten lots of interesting from tech companies on the ops side but am much more interested in product management.

Stop shaming people for leaving on time. Working overtime every nite benefits no one if you’re exhausted. It’s not a badge of honor either. Work on your time management skills.

I need some advice. I got a new job back in may of this year. Very excited for a new opportunity to learn some new things and get a higher paycheck. I started and have gotten a few projects but they haven’t consistently been giving me hardly any work to do. I’m not resourced enough. I told my manager I have a lot of free time. I also work fully remote. I am feeling very unfulfilled and not sure what I should do next. I am very self motivated and want to make great work but not sure what to do.
