I’m going to say this for anyone who needs to hear it:
Stop being a yes person.
Yes, it has been a daunting year – and yes, for those of us coming out of respective lockdowns (depending on where you are in the world) it can feel borderline ludicrous to opt for ‘opting out’ after months of being cooped up at home; but sometimes you just need to say NO.
Say no to that coffee with a friend, re-schedule that date, duck out of the weekly Zoom call. Don’t take on another extracurricular. Tell your colleagues you’ll be logging off at a decent hour (and stick to it).
