Not 100% sure this is the right bowl for this post, but here goes.

I find that I only have so much energy/time to complete tasks at work. Do you have any advice for how to expand my energy/focus capacity?

I'm less interested in things like Adderall and more interested in processes/techniques. Thanks!

I’m a big advocate of time blocking. I get easily distracted by random tasks and new emails. I set actual timers when I come up on a block of time. https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/time-blocking

Ya I absolutely do not block my entire day - I only block for what is priority for that day! The rest is bonus time for interesting or ad hoc projects.

Regular exercise - If my body is (appropriately) tired my mind is quieter and I am overall more calm and able to focus.

Dear all,

How's it like working for PwC India as SAP Functional Senior Associate?
I have a 5.3y work ex with ACN, as a FSCM consultant (L10 currently, was assured of a L9 effective March, but declined due to growing poor culture within ACN).
Got an offer from PwC India
Current TC: 9.5 LPA.
PwC Offered TC: 19 LPA.
IBM Offered Fixed: 17 LPA
IBM would be a smooth drive, but skeptical to join PwC given the WLB issues, as a lot of folks say.

Any thoughts, comments would be really helpful!

I need insight on these “Tell me about a time” interview questions. I understand the response format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) however, I’m having difficulty with needing to have a story for a hella ton of scenarios when they’re asking these questions. Any tips/ tricks to pass this type of interview? So aggravating when interviewing and 90% of time in the interview are these questions and the last 10% are about your experience/ skills. Feel like I’m not able to really express myself.

This is my first year filing taxes. I earned ~$103k on my W-2 with $20k of that coming from bonuses. I invested 20% of my income into my 401k throughout the year. I receive ~$250 in dividends each quarter through my investments and other than that I have no other income streams. My tax accountant is telling me I owe money this year but I figured I would receive a refund with the bonuses I received (taxed at ~45%) & my 401k investment. Does this seem odd or does it make sense? TIA!

Home office revamp recommendations:
1. Autonomous standing desk: honestly the best desk ever! Order arrived in 3 days, even better quality than I imagined. I got the L shape one, fits 3 monitors and a laptop comfortably on one side.
