So I started a new job a few months ago at an agency. Though my work performance is good I have been extremely stressed and anxious nonstop since day one. The work pace and load is significant. Even my spouse can tell a difference in me. The pay is good, but at what point is your mental health worth more than a paycheck? Is this new job blues or is this a sign of toxicity? Should I stay or should I go?

What are you stressed out about? Is it something specifically or in general? It takes at least 3 months to start feeling comfortable and another 3 months to really get into a groove. If you put too much pressure on yourself, you'll constantly be feeling like you are behind, causing you additional stress. Every so often I take a PTO day just to catch up without the pressure of having interruptions I can really focus on what I need to do to try and get ahead (or at least catch up). But I'll also take a leisurely lunch and maybe a nap.

I’ve been trying “take care of myself” going to yoga, getting a drink with a friend, but the demands leave me feeling like I never get to be idle.

Also, do you think it’s too late to ask if I can visit the unit before I make my decision? Thanks in advance.

Talk to me about schedules, please. I recently moved back into an IC role and am once again responsible for developing project plans. I absolutely loathe building schedules but I can’t seem to pin point why. Maybe because building a good one with dependencies takes forever or because no one looks at them or because they seem outdated. Why can’t prioritization do the work for us? How do you all approach schedules? Thoughts? Ideas?
