22.12 – 19.01
Today is a good time to say honestly that your workload has grown while your authority has not. Come to the conversation with a concrete list of what you do and what you need in order to do it.
Choose an evening without work and put your phone on charge in another room. Your loved ones are not waiting for gifts, but for your real presence at the dinner table.
Name a figure that reflects your contribution and back it up with examples of what you have done this quarter. Calm confidence in your voice matters more here than a polished presentation.
If yesterday's dispute over deadlines is still open, now is the time to return to it with figures. Hand off some of the small tasks and make sure the outcome is put in writing.
Five minutes of stretching in the morning and evening will help your back and knees. Be sure to make time for a proper lunch rather than a sandwich over the keyboard.
