When I started working remotely a few months ago, I envisioned the flexibility and freedom it would bring. However, I soon realized that context-switching had become my unexpected nemesis. In the remote work environment, context switching happens frequently, making it harder to maintain focus and flow. I found myself constantly jumping between tasks, losing rhythm, and wasting time. But I was determined to regain control and boost productivity. Here's what worked for me: 1️⃣ No more multitasking madness: I limited tabs, put my phone on DND, and turned off Slack. Virtual co-working sessions helped me stay accountable and focused on one task at a time. 2️⃣ Strategic Day Planning: I scheduled demanding tasks in the morning, saved admin work for low-energy times, and used lunchtime for meetings. 3️⃣ Mindful Transitions: Short, purposeful breaks like watching nature or brewing coffee helped me reset and maintain focus. 4️⃣ Changing location: Switching physical…

So, first, I’m sorry if this doesn’t quite fit. I’m really at a loss right now and need some confirmation that I’m not actually insane and the people that run this company are complete morons. (or maybe I am insane, I can handle that too). So some quick background info: I work for a smaller nonprofit in a large city. We do various things, but primarily market ourselves as youth development. I do communications, photo/video editing, content creation, graphic design, social media, and website support among others. I was hired as an intern early-2019, and full-time mid-2019. I’ve felt severely underpaid & undervalued since starting, however, I accepted it as a nonprofit and kept on going. 4 years later, we are undergoing some changes and a bunch of people (who were just promoted last year) are being promoted again as well as the creation of EIGHT new full time positions.…

r/jobs r/careeradvice r/Kroger r/Target and I’m sure others are stuffed to the brim with people telling tales of labor tragedies. Cultural diffusion of the antiwork idea may be disproportionately more impactful in these domains. Food for thought, if you’re into that kinda thing.
