Question the platitudes. Interrogate the assumptions. Be wary of anyone offering a simple, seven-step solution to a complex human problem.

Long-shot jobs? Ambitious titles? Companies I’d never heard of? Apply, apply, apply. It was a way to turn that helpless, angry energy into action, even if it was chaotic.

It’s your chance to prove you’re not a robot, especially now that—let’s be honest—many people are probably using AI to write their first drafts.

This comprehensive guide delves into effective strategies for building and maintaining connections in a remote world.

A workcation is not a vacation. And it’s not just working from a different, more scenic office. It’s a weird, delicate hybrid.

Your value as a person is not tied to your output. You need to remind your brain of that fact by engaging in joyful, gloriously unproductive activities.
