Sometimes I think it’s just me, but whenever work feels overwhelming or I really don’t feel like working, I remind myself that the weekend is coming and I only have to get through a few more days. Somehow that little thought gives me a bit of relief. I know it might sound a little childish, but hey, it’s my little coping trick 😅

What do you do to make your workweek feel easier?

Not childish at all, I literally countdown the days every week. Whatever gets you through is worth doing. The biggest thing for me is making sure I'm on top of everything at home before the work week starts. As long as my place is reasonably clean and I don't have a ton of chores or errands left to do, I'm in a good spot mentally, and that makes dealing with work nonsense feel a lot less draining.

I am glad I am not the only one who does that. And you are right about chores and cleaning too. It gives you a feeling of being fully prepared for work.

Not childish at all! I do something similar, I break the week into smaller chunks and give myself little mini rewards along the way. Somehow those tiny wins make the week way more manageable.

Exactly! I think if we don't have a coping machanism, it is hard to get thru the week.

Yes, I think like this as well. It does help that time moves very fast nowadays. One week feels like 3 days now. One thing that makes my work week easier is when I am focused on things that I need to accomplish within the week.

Focus is for sure a key. It gives you a feeling of accomplishment and makes the week go faster.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
