Personal accountability post (Week of 9/8). What do you need to accomplish today/this week? I figure if we do these weekly, it’ll give us a way to stay on track.

My office chair stinks even though I wash it with carpet cleaner every few weeks. Fellow 24/7 WFH workers, how do you keep your office chair clean?

Just was notified that all work from home privileges are being removed. The reasoning? Because executive office wants to.

Looking for some material for a crash course in IT strategy consulting - books article etc. any recommendations would be appreciated

Hows the work and work/life balance at full-service agencies vs a media agency. I'm a media planner coming from a full-service agency and I'm wondering if it will be a step backward going to a media focused agency.

Is firm travel back up to pre covid levels?

Mckinsey fish, how is implementation practice? How does it compare to general consulting? How is the growth trajectory? Got an opportunity to join as implementation consultant but I am worried it will be a step down (will be taking a paycut as well).

Hooked up with my ex today. Something about the holidays really tends to bring out my self-destructive tendencies.

Are you sick of tired of being sick and tired!!??

I know I am. Just like you the recent murders of two black men have done a number on me.... and I can’t just sit still with this. I wanna take action. I want to do something. Create something. Develops something that can create change.

So what is the output? I’m not sure. And that’s why I am reaching out to you all. Let’s use our talent in advertising to make something that will sway people to “PULL UP”!!! Let’s chat!! The time is now!!!!

Just registered for WAATBP end of this month and am looking forward to it!

Serious question: Do you feel guilty when your airline status lets you jump others on the standby list?

I personally do, but not enough to give it up.

Anyone else get annoyed with the constant grumbling about healthcare/pharma work in the main bowl?

Have you ever been or currently in a relationship with someone of who’s political beliefs conflict with your own?

Not dealing with this currently have dealt with it in the past. My parents started out opposites but now believe similarly. I’m wondering if it is possible in this day and age.

Sharing a helpful tool to increase discipline. “The 5 Second Rule is simple. If you have an instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it.
The moment you feel an instinct or a desire to act on a goal or a commitment, use the Rule.
When you feel yourself hesitate before doing something that you know you should do, count 5-4-3-2-1-GO and move towards action.”

Hi everyone! What do you want to accomplish this week?

I was fairly diligent last week, billed 60h, met all my deadlines and obtained positive feedback on my work. It was a lot harder than it sounds as I’m generally either late, screw up or get bad feedback. So big win. At the same time, it drained my body and brain to the point of not being able to work at all on Tuesday and spending the day watching TV. How do you build endurance and keep going when you feel limited? Ever think you’re just not made for this profession?

Personal accountability post. What MUST you get done today? Pick three things, because often we overestimate what we can get done. Comment below (no client identifying info, obviously) and then reply to your own comment at the end of the day to update on your progress.

I will post the average daily screen time I spend on my personal phone at the end of the week under this post

Sharing 2 great accountability apps: Beeminder and Stickk. Through these apps, you commit to daily, weekly, or monthly goals and stay accountable by putting an amount of money of your choice on the line. Beeminder’s interface is simple, but it has a built-in timer that I use to time pomodoros

What do you do to motivate yourself when you need to work on the weekend? I’m having a hard time getting started today (doesn’t help that I’ve worked every weekend for months now). Part of it is that I left the hard part of a project for last, but mostly I just don’t feel like working on a Sunday.
