It’s only January and I’m already burnt out. All I did over holiday break was rest and reset, and yet I already feel like I’m drowning. Tips for making it through a busy return back? It should slow down after March but that just feels like an eternity from now…

Ditto. Second week back came in strongly psychotic with:
- one all-nighter for a RFP submission
- followed by a 12-hr workday
- followed by 16-hr workday
- two consecutive all-day client meetings

We’re very tight on resources and zero budget cushion to bring in additional resources.

All the rest and recovery from the holidays have vanished. It’s MLK weekend and the only energy I have is for bed rotting.

I couldn’t get any break. Had to work a bit and had family on town. So burn out is real. I also have a bunch of clutter in my apt I can’t seem to be able to get rid of so I’m literally drowning. I completely sympathize.

It’s brutal out here but I’ve made a point to schedule time to relax lol. Like this Saturday will be solely dedicated to self-care so declining any social outings that seem draining.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
