[quote=Anonymous]It helps to have an end in sight. You won't be here forever. Remind yourself. In 18 months, if I can push through this, we will be able to contribute XX and meet XX goal. Countdown to a milestone that is close and in support of a larger objective. And silence your emails by hitting DND on your cell phone between 5-7. Otherwise you will lose your shit. You don't want a breakdown, that will be much worse. So find ways to pace yourself. Ignore the glares. Their opinion of you is none of your business. Who cares. Focus on making sure that the key person you need to keep happy (client, senior leadership, whoever) sees you prioritizing and getting shit done. That is your job insurance. Try to be efficient. Say no to projects, or delegate to some of the juniors that may be envious for the grunt work. Hang in there, and congrats! It is hard, but it gets easier. [/quote]
