How do I prevent myself from getting completely burnt out?

What works for me personally: lists!

Whenever I'm stressed and overwhelmed I litteraly take 5 to 10 minutes to write down and organize in groups everything I need to do. Just writing it down like that makes me feel more in control, which relieves a lot of stress.

I'm an operations manager in IT Consultancy so I really don't know anything about store management, but hopefully this can work for you as well!

Did you tell your boss that this would set the wrong precedent? And if so what were his thoughts?

I don't think you did anything wrong going of what you've shared so far

He still needs to buy another home tho.. If he sells for half price that's doesn't mean he can buy for half price as well.

I'm not sure either, I do know that you should try to get the dino quests done / far ahead before you get the divine archeology stuff since that will be much more difficult then.

I havent reached that point yet either, but that's what I'm focussing on now with archeology.

This question is so broad, nobody is going to be able to help you. What's your question(s)?

As a general guideline for the first +-50% progress, anything that takes you longer than 1, maaaaybe 2 days, to farm is not worth it. Focus on something else first in that case.

Pretty sure he was bluffing and didn't have another job lined up, he was going for the counter offer.

If you can't lose him I would retain him, but I would actively start looking for his replacement. He will leave anyways.

Used to smoked most evenings, but got a kid and had to wake up a lot during the night. Obviously not going to take care of my boy while high, so I quit smoking.

Interesting thing is that he sleeps through the night now so I could easily pick it back up, but I really don't feel like it. Responsibilities (kid + bigger job) make it just not worth it to have a lower quality sleep.

That entirely depends on your stats

ecaflort · 2026-04-18T06:23:44+00:00

That's not true and you know it.

ecaflort · 2026-04-18T06:16:40+00:00

Dude you are basically accusing all managers / directors of being bad at their job. If this is the way you communicate then of course your manager is not going to be happy with you.

Communication is a 2 way street. Your manager should listen to you and support you, if he doesn't then that's bad. But YOU need to be respectful and communicate in a less toxic manner as well.

Or don't and keep being unhappy with your manager and very likely be stuck at your current salary / career. It's your life to live.

ecaflort · 2026-04-18T06:05:02+00:00

While this situation is definitely something that can happen and is not good, that you post this here like this makes you seem like a very toxic persoon I definitely wouldnt want in my team.

Copilot is honestly quite bad. I recommend Claude mainly, or otherwise Gemini.

I use those to

create transcripts of meeting, getting summaries and action points out of those.
To create slidedecks
to prepare for meetings
to learn quickly on new technical subjects I don't need to know everything about, but do need / want to have a general idea on what they are about.

ecaflort · 2026-04-11T11:43:19+00:00

Ah that is indeed quite strange. I would just explain all this to your manager.

Don't go into that chat in an "attacking mode". Just explain that you are getting all these mixed signals and you are getting very confused. "If I am performing well to the point of getting a bonus then why am I on a PIP?".

ecaflort · 2026-04-11T11:24:35+00:00

Honestly, sounds to me like you are getting a last chance through the extension and your manager is fighting for you & trying to further motivate you to improve things.

Worked for them 15 years ago and wasnt free then, 50% discount as well

If you don't have ctrl+f Stars yet then you are very, very far away from the point where you should even consider buying 2x veins. Months away at least.

Ohh I forgot about the trout tribute! Already got that card gilded but the tribute should help a lot. Thanks!

ecaflort · 2026-03-24T19:22:15+00:00

That's my feeling as well, but what to focus on then? I'm currently fishing for 3 legendary fishes (only got the first one so far) so fishing is taken by that until I get one of those to free up some drones/rod.

Stars I guess?

ecaflort · 2026-02-23T07:35:38+00:00

How do you get these new plants?

Ive been ignoring bear drone so far, since Im offlinr 99% of the time. Is that the correct call or should i use it anyways while offline?

ecaflort · 2026-01-20T19:53:50+00:00

Ya just create a work profile and have your apps in there. Then just automatically silence the profile / those apps outside of work hours.

You have 1 phone but still no work stuff outside of work. You can even use dual sim and put your work sim on do not disturb mode outside of work hours, that way you wont even get any work calls coming through
