Really worried about having to travel a lot for my upcoming project. Anyone have tips about how to get enough sleep? Get the food you need? Exercise? I'm 100% reliant on my routine at home to keep me functional and I'm just so terrified that I'm going to perform poorly.

Oh is this why I never sleep on work trips. Crap. At least you know this to try to prevent it but I’m of no help because I can’t even

Set consistent sleep and wake times, adapt your workout for the hotel gym, and look up food options in advance and plan your meals (might be a bit hard if you’ll eat with colleagues).

One benefit I’ve found for business travel is a lot of home distractions aren’t there, so I can focus more on work and lately I usually sleep better too.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!
