Where is the middle ground between being totally burnt out at work and being bored to death? I feel absolutely overworked every single day right now and I hate it. I was supposed to have today off, but I'm doing work while I watch my kids play video games. But I also hear my friends talk about their office jobs where they do 2 hours of work and scroll on Insta the rest of the time which sounds so awful in its own way.

Feeling underutilized is indeed it's own kind of hell. It took me a long time to adjust to not doing things ASAP and as quickly as possible. But once you adjust it's lovely.

If you're burned out at work you either need to start setting some boundaries or just admit that it's time to move on to something else. Working on holidays shouldn't be a thing, and if you're too accommodating it'll keep happening. Perhaps you should look for other opportunities where you won't be as pressured.

Okay, so I have pretty bad cystic acne, clogged pores and enlarged pores. I’ve been using curology and a mild dermatologist recommended soap. I have seen some improvement, however I was curious if anyone was struggling with it and has tried the “Flo Vitamin gummy’s “ on top of my fertility struggle this really has kinda killed my confidence. I know it’s not specifically fertility related but Was hoping to get some feedback on similar situations
