After so many days, I'm left with a week before the restart of my job. On whether that's the right decision, time will tell.
- The nerdier Robot Man. I would use this to communicate how I really feel.
- I'm a worrier; it's part of parcel of who I am and my job sustains this bad habit. I like this Harvard Business Review (HBR)* article as it puts it succinctly, and I believe I did that in my work break. In essence:
- Oh God, THIS. I admit, I am working in such an industry and I admit this does go on. We, inevitably, do not mostly practice what we preach. I'm open for discussions any time.
- A late fan of Florence + The Machine is better than never. Watch her 'Heavy In Your Arms' below:
- In conclusion, as per Inc.*, when we work for others, we want expectations, validation and belief. We are here, we matter.
We have to rethink what it means to work and to be productive. We have to disentangle self-hatred from responsibility, self-criticism from self-care.
What does re-thinking mean in this case? Start thinking of being hard on yourself as being irresponsible. Start thinking of wasting half of your brain power on fantasies about your own destruction as self-indulgent. Conflate self-negativity with laziness. Start thinking of time for yourself as being responsible. Start thinking of a healthy mid-day meal as essential to your productivity, time away from your desk as productive.
