I’ve been working on my flexibility. So random and not for any particular reason but I really like how it’s ‘fair.’ I put in the time and effort and the next day I’m more flexible. Unlike work 😤

I also had low motivation but I started reading again. I attribute the lack of initial enthusiasm to being sick of staring on any types of screens. Switching from reading on a tablet to ebook reader really helped. I'm guessing paperbacks would work too, but don't want to buy bc don't like to store books and dont want to borrow from a library bc of Covid.

How do you guys handle someone else taking credit for your work?

A colleague keeps running point on my projects and regular work. I do 80% of the work (strategy + execution). Her involvement is much smaller yet she’s established herself as the main person for this area of marketing.

I have little visibility for my hard work and it’s frustrating nobody sees my contributions as “mine”. They ask her questions she then ask me. Bc we’re remote nobody sees what’s happening and I’m demotivated.
