Exhausted

I’m on day 3 back from vacation and I’m already tired. The doom and gloom news cycle has been exhausting to read. My Twitter feed filled with layoffs, company teardowns, FUD, fraud accusations, etc. It’s not a fun time right now.

We joked at a management team meeting today that we wish we could just freeze everything and come back in 3 months. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Unfortunately, that’s not how life or business works and we’re going to have to address everything head on. I suspect that this summer will be difficult as we head on these turbulent times.

The good news is that it gets better. It always does and we need to look forward to that. We have to hold out hope that the shitty times don’t last forever while not lying to ourselves that this may fix itself quickly. Holding out on a miracle is a great way to be disappointed.

I can’t wait until we’re through this period. In the meantime, I need to remind myself to sleep more and take care of my mental and physical health in the meantime.
