Hey all! Almost halfway through TLCC.
How is everyone doing?
If you're doing well, what are some of the strategies you are using to prevent burnout? Screen breaks? Hydrating? Etc.
If you're not doing well, is there anything I can do? Bring you a virtual cup of tea, maybe?
Also-- FYI to anyone in the time zone that is currently attending sessions (ie Australia): if you find music or sounds that are meant to convey an intense action vibe stressful, I don't recommend doing the Escape Room for your social event. It's space-themed, so the background music has that video game scifi thriller aesthetic, and it's kind of loud. I ended up switching to the Lazy River, which a considerably more mellow vibe.
I'm finding this year harder than I expected because there's less of an understanding that I'm "away" right now from my coworkers. I've been trying some guided meditation in the evenings to sort of settle back down into myself after I've pushed too hard between conference/networking and actual work. I think it's helping but certainly not as much as I'd hoped! This weekend will be a very quiet one for me.
Winding down has been the hardest thing for me too, but at least this year we have the luxury of winding down from the comfort of our own homes. That's been helpful to me.
