Articulate and Share Your Personal Preferences

Articulate and Share Your Personal Preferences

Think about the physical, mental, and emotional boundaries you need to be at your best. That may include defining:

  • What time you will start and end work.
  • Response times for emails and messages.
  • Calendar blocks for focused work or “no meeting” time.
  • The frequency and duration of breaks during the day.
  • Resource or training requirements needed to do your job.
  • The type of work you enjoy doing the most and what you have the bandwidth for.

Be proactive about communicating your boundaries with your manager and team.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.
