Someone asked me recently, what is one quality that is career limiting that many people don't realize is career limiting?
My answer? Being unable to deal with ambiguity. The more senior you get, the more there are is no right answer or plan figured out. That's your job.

"NOBODY WANTS TO WORK ANY MORE!"

One of my favorite tools in my productivity toolbox for getting started on things I don’t particularly feel like doing is the inverse pomodoro. It’s basically what it sounds like: a timed work/break cycle, but the work and break times are reversed from a normal pomodoro. I usually set a 5 minute timer, do some work, and then do something relaxing or fun for 15 minutes. I usually find that after doing that once or twice, it’s pretty easy to flip to normal pomodoros.

For everyone who feels insecure about your relationships with others - partners, friends, etc. - do they actually like me? Am I tricking them or deceiving them or what if I'm secretly a bad person?:
Remember - the other people in the relationship with you are whole-ass people with their own thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, etc. These actual whole-ass people have their own agency, and have decided to spend their time on this earth with you.
If you've not been intentionally misleading them or hiding things or tricking them into being with you, then it probably means they actually like you for who you are. You're probably not as good at hiding who you are as you think, which means they know the parts of you that suck, and they like you despite or even BECAUSE of the parts of you that suck.
It's okay to simply trust those who love you to have chosen to love you because you're you.
