Welcome back to weekend coffee chats, the Young Professional series. This week let’s step outside from the office (or virtual office) for this post and consider our lives at home.

Advice, Helpful or Overrated ?
Welcome back to weekend coffee chats, presenting the Young Professional series where we discuss techniques, processes, and overall topics to improve our work.

Why saying no to tasks is important
Welcome back to weekend coffee chats, the Young Professional series. This week, let’s talk about a more general topic, saying no to tasks. Before you think this is crazy, let me explain.

This sounds helpful in theory, but in practice when our to-do list needs multiple days to be completed this is a recipe for burnout. An important thingContinue reading “Why Not All Urgent Tasks are Actually Urgent”

#YoungProfessional As we go through our day we communicate and interact (even now virtually) with multiple stakeholders.
