Keep a close watch on your workload. It’s tempting to say “yes” to everything to show you’re a solid team player. But biting off more than you can chew can backfire, ramping up your stress levels while lowering your performance.
Try to find that sweet spot between being helpful and not overloading yourself. When necessary, don’t hesitate to delegate or ask for a hand when things get too much. This way, you’re not just keeping up the quality of your work. You’re also helping to create a team culture where everyone's ready to lend a hand, and nobody’s left struggling under too much pressure.
Yes, your social media accounts are personal, but remember, they can also be a window into your professional life, especially if colleagues and clients are in your network. Before you share, pause and think — could this reflect poorly on my employer, coworkers or me? And familiarize yourself with any company guidelines about proprietary information you aren’t allowed to share online. For those moments when you need to vent, a family member, a trusted mentor or a friend can be your sounding board.
