Lately, why am I unable to focus and concentrate and always think about something about work related matters? It happens more when I am with my family. Any tips to fix it?

This is old school but I’ll sometimes dedicate 5 mins to writing down whatever’s going on in my head. After its written down, I know I can come back to it later & don’t need to keep it “top of mind” - allows me to focus better.

Might just be habit. Easier for your brain to continue doing what it normally does all day long than switch gears. Maybe a routine when you get home that can help you reset and change your focus?

Are you going through a particularly stressful period at work? So you generally like your job? Is there something in your personal life you prefer to avoid?

Nope, my job is going well and I love what I am doing. But I have been constantly working long hours and some time it’s stressful but I am delivering quality work. I feel it’s not fair to my kids when I am with them why would my mind is busy somewhere else.

Are u up for promotion or thinking pay increase? Is there a want / need?

Not really. In fact recently I got promoted 4 months back.

Recently promoted. Managing 4 direct reports, which essentially means I’m managing an entire department (it’s small company). Offered a 10% increase, which according to my research is low. Also know for a fact that 2 peers were offered 15% right off the bat, even though I’m technically more senior than they are. Live in NYC, 8 years of experience at the company and in total (first job out of college). I’m being told that there is no chance of negotiating further. Am I being taken advantage of?
