COVID has upended work for many of us: Dory Clark offers some tips to remake our work selves.
For almost every professional, life turned upside down during the pandemic. Whether you experienced job loss or a sudden shift to work-from-home, you likely had to deal with radically changed circumstances. Many of those changes persist to this day. For career expert Lindsey Pollak, whose keynote speaking business suddenly evaporated,"it was terrifying and frustrating.
Pollak, for instance, has identified certain friends she reaches out to when she's feeling bored or unmotivated, and—depending on the circumstance—they either push her to get the task done or encourage her to take a self-care break. And then get the task done. In high school and college, Pollak also used a technique she calls"sandwiching," in which she'd call her mom for encouragement and support both before and immediately after completing a tough task.
