Reply to LPT request: how to feel happier and more upbeat when waking up super early? by FoxCharacter5108

The key to being able to wake up early is unfortunately the worst advice ever but it totally works. You need to wake up at the same time every day. Like EVERY day. Not mon through fri, I mean 7 days a week no exceptions. It SUCKS in the beginning but it's the key to getting better sleep. It's the key to waking up early, especially if your body is really resisting it, which it sounds like yours is. Start a morning routine. Include something you enjoy, cup of hot chocolate? Listening to a podcast you love? Include 10 extra minutes to read a book/do some yoga/ anything you enjoy? Routine, routine routine is the key to better sleep and better moods. Unfortunately. I hate that it's true but it is!

Reply to LPT Request: how to overcome Imposter Syndrome at work? How have you dealt with it? by ladladladz

I keep this short (under 4 min) video bookmarked on my phone’s home page, as if it were an app. Must be decades old but has really helped when I was frozen when running a large project (30-40 people under me). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S2qHu_1VDEw

It’s called "The Fastest Way To Build Self-Confidence" and is a seriously helpful video, even if the fashion is really dated. Ineffective vs. effective ways to build confidence. Go direct!

Reply to LPT: Never tell a coworker anything you don’t want the entire office to know by Basic-Ideal

This right here.

Workplaces always talk about being families. And it's an easy con to fall into since you spend so much of your waking hours at work.

The truth is, most people work at at-will jobs. At your company's will, they will terminate you without two weeks notice.

When given an option to choose you or themselves, your coworkers will always choose themselves to win even if that requires throwing you under the bus.

Never tell anyone your next move. Move in silence. Let people be amazed with your results and achievements.

Also, for the love of god, do not friend coworkers on social media. Whatever they see you post (and previously post) will be used against you, if it gains an advantage for them.
