    My current job is going great. I’m overwhelming myself. It’s important to remind myself that no one is overwhelming me.

    The fact that I have a ton of projects that all hinge on me is a good thing, so long as folks aren’t jumping down my throat about deadlines. All I am hearing is positive feedback.

    Trying my best right now is threefold; first is counterintuitive: take breaks and don’t burn yourself out. Lean on your coping mechanisms to get through the stress and ruminitive nature of a huge workload. Second, it’s communicating: update the teams that are relying on me if my suggested delivery time has moved. Third, it’s reminding myself that no one is upset with me and my performance.
