Product Marketer/Manager for 12 years. Love the dynamic, shifting work, but this year especially has been a mad dash sprint since January.

Finally had to reset expectations around work/life balance with both my manager and myself:

  1. No email/Slack on my phone
  2. No work during times that used to be my commute pre-COVID
  3. No work during evenings & weekends (we’re not saving lives or part of national security… it can wait)
  4. If it doesn’t get done, either teach me to be faster or hire more people, otherwise it simply won’t get done
  5. Lunch time is MY time and if I work through it, it’s my choice - don’t expect it daily

Big improvement to my mental health and our org’s priorities.
