Yesterday was one of those days where I was “on” nonstop — back-to-back meetings, initiative updates, project proposals, and networking sessions. Every conversation needed a different version of me. Today, I’m completely drained.

I don’t think it’s the workload pushing me to the edge, but the constant mental switching.

What part of your job leaves you feeling the most exhausted?

What I find exhausting is having to sit through a lot of meetings of negligible value. I'd be perfectly happy doing my work and not having to listen to an hour or two of corporate buzzwords that have little to do with my work, or with reality, for that matter.

It is a lot constantly pivoting throughout the day. I’m facing that today. I’m trying to get better at it. Having a plan at the start of the day is helpful. X amount of time on this, and then I have to do these other things, helps me bring some organization in.

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home
