It's Working Project

I loved my me time. It made it all the more exciting to hear whatever happened during the day in their lives. It helped me compartmentalize my time among various responsibilities too.

Which of the following are you trying to fit with your job/career? ________________________________________________________________________

How has COVID-19 impacted your job/work responsibilities? How has it impacted your responsibility to care for your family?

I am in the middle of job search, so it becomes all the more challenging with the whole family at home! It’s harder to focus and put in extra hours while taking care of everything else.

Was there ever a time when you felt there was an unspoken barrier or preconceived notion that interfered with your job or career? Please share.

It is a given fact that I am accountable for all the chores, reminding others about their deadlines etc. I do not mean I have to do everything but I am accountable for something that goes wrong. I am sure it adds up to the fact that I myself take that guilt!

Of all your professional, educational, or caregiver responsibilities, which creates the most stress with your job/career? Please share why?
