Stressed? Overworked? You’re Not Alone!
Hi LinkedIn Community,?
You’re about to take your lunch break. Ping! A notification hits your laptop. Ping! A new email just landed in your inbox. Ping! Ping! Ping! Suddenly, you're flooded with messages. Aren't you already drowning in work? What about your break—should you skip it... AGAIN??
Take a deep breath. We've all been there, and it sucks! Maybe you've lost interest in a career you once cared about because you barely have a life outside of work. However, all is not lost. You are incredible, and your career challenges won't let you give up just yet!?

?
Structure is Key?
It’s easy to get lost in the weeds when you have plenty of tasks to work on simultaneously. Do you have a clear structure, and what does it entail? Are your communication channels organized, or are they cluttered with unclear priorities? If you feel confident about your organizational skills and everything is in place, the issues you’re facing might be deeper.?
?
Support from Your Team?
Next, it's important to realize that no matter how motivated and hardworking you are, you still need support when things get tough. A great team should be able to identify when you need it most. Can you confidently reach out to your colleagues whenever you're stuck with work? Are they eager to assist, or does it feel like a burden to ask them??

Smarter Systems to Manage Communication?
On a different note, does any of the software you use assist in making your work somewhat easier? If you can barely cope with your workload and feel that you have to do everything manually, then maybe it’s time to ask for software that could benefit you and the company.?

The Right Workplace Makes All the Difference?
Finally, ask yourself: Am I working for the ideal company? It’s a tough question, right? However, if you find yourself in a toxic environment with limited growth opportunities, barely have time to spend with loved ones, and receive no support from your team, maybe it’s time to consider applying to a different company.?
