The mess of the day at work, can leave a feeling of tiredness, wanting to get out and get home from the mundane things at work that for whatever reasons can zap the energy right out of us. So what do we do? Suggestions?
What I do then is literally take my actual company breaks, don’t work through them, grab a cup of tea with cream, grab a muffin from the office’s kitchen and go sit outside while taking that 15 minute break. It does wonders. Absolute wonders.

I know it sounds weird, but when I'm having a very exhausting and frustrating day, especially a Friday, I'll grab a coffee on the way home to give me some energy and then do a deep clean up my house. That way I get some of my anxiety out but then I also have a clean home for the weekend and don't have to stress about spending my free time cleaning up my environment.

I really like that idea, however, I get off work have a couple of hours to destress, then go to other places I need to be at. Still, I like this idea of coffee (for me it would be a Toffee Cappuccino, maybe a Kolache ). But yeah, I could get the floor swept and moped at least.

I walk outside instead of a lunch break.

That’s an idea. A walk outside is always lovely, especially to breathe the air outdoors instead of indoors. Ha! Maybe during lunch read a book. 📕 That would take me places in my mind.

Recently started going through the interview process. I ended up going through 2 interviews in about a week. After the first interview I heard back the following day saying that they wanted to meet for a second one. It’s been about 4 days now since the second interview, which felt like it went great, and still haven’t heard anything. Am I being impatient or should I have heard back by now? I already sent a thank you message after the second interview, should I try to follow up again?
