Can we talk about the underrated side of workplace

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. The social part surprised me too.

This reminds me of something a friend in Kuala Lumpur mentioned. I keep a note about resume for exactly this reason.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I noticed the same thing in Nairobi.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. This is more useful on a tired lunch break than on a perfect day.
