Looking for time management tips…
I’m currently working full time while trying to apply to new jobs and prep for interviews while also taking care of my mental health with enough social interaction / relaxation / hobbies. How in the world do people do it all??
After a full day of work it takes me 30min - an hour to cook and eat dinner & then I feel like I have maybe 1-2 hours to work on other things + get some time to read/watch tv before going to sleep.

In the same boat. I have stopped cooking entirely and rely solely on takeouts. 😕

Nobody can do it all (some might pretend, but it's impossible). Prioritize. Right now, looks like prepping for interviews is the highest priority. Maybe slow down on cooking / get takeouts instead? Priorities will shift over time, but don't put pressure on yourself to do everything at once and perfectly

The day I have interviews.. I literally do nothing else until the interview gets over. And then I take one hr to chill and get back to work. It doesn’t always work because I have a lot of work.. but if I’m working before that interview I’ll not have my mind to it. I cannot help it. I feel guilty.

It’s damn near impossible to do all that + more everyday and not be exhausted. I stopped cooking and started eating out more because that was the only thing I could change and the process of cooking often takes a lot of time and energy. Something has to give, you just have to decide which is the least important thing that you’re willing to give up

fellow Desis', how do you deal with Parents back home. I would like to care for them but without their interfering in every little detail of my life. I am gay, so I am not their ideal kid, & sense their frustration/feelings of betrayal in every conversation. But I can't stop living my life.
They get upset:
• if i don't tell them about an interview - oh you've already decided
• if I tell them about moving to a different state to be with my partner - oh you've already decided & now informing us
