Keep getting assigned more work to do when I'm already stretched extremely thin. Is there a tactful way to approach this without making myself sound incompetent?

Make a list of things on your plate/what you are working on currently and discuss their priority and ask management what you should focus on first from their perspective. That way, they are aware of what’s on your plate, can allocate the work accordingly if needed and you are now aware of the set expectations. It’s all about communication.

Yeah I’m always talking with my manager informally about what I’m working on and what should be priority.

Gotta also stand up for yourself when it comes to outside team requests. Take the visibility when you need it, but push back when you need to

I’ll be retiring from a public school system in the next 3-5 years. My husband, a Navy vet, and I are tossing around the idea of then relocating to a country that has a military base nearby. We’d both be interested in at least part-time gigs: me as a teacher preferably on base and he’s open to jobs on or off base. Does anyone know any educators currently doing that or planning to??

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.
