colin lord - pto, hobbies, and taking care of yourself
guest: colin lord, engineering manager of front end teams at smile direct club
- learn to tell the difference between needing a 15 minute walk and needing a full week off to recharge
- uninstall work apps like outlook and teams during vacation so you are not tempted to check in
- build a real relationship with your manager so it feels safe to say you are struggling before it affects your work
- during a job search treat it like a full time job and aim for one solid intentional conversation a day instead of nonstop applying
- get comfortable asking for help early since most people do not take advantage of help that is already offered to them
