Be still, my middle-school heart... this is the adult equivalent of getting a new binder! Color-coding your work calendar will help you understand your day at a glance, time-batch your tasks, and stay focused. Both Outlook and Gmail make it a breeze to do. And - bonus! - science backs it up: color-coding doesn't just look good, it's a brain-boosting win.

Self-doubt about your work accomplishments... Feeling like a phony at your job... Guess what - you're not alone! Nearly two-thirds of workers report those sneaky feelings of imposter syndrome at some point! It's okay, it's natural, and there's actually a lot you can do about it.

It's election week in the US! And like it or not, politics will pop up at work. Some companies try to ban it altogether, but that's a bit much, right? Here's a better approach:

Set clear boundaries about what's fair game and what's not
Set the tone at the top: people will follow what leadership does
Yep, we're doing this. Big news is going to be hard to avoid this week... if it's too much, check back here anytime for an instant brain cleanse with adorable baby animal pics. Awww... just look at him... do you think his name is Booplesnoot?.
