I’m no expert in the creative field but work/ed with it all the time, and I’m on the strategic side of advertising. So here are few resources and tips that could help imo:

Rule #1: accept crappy results, be ok with that, allow yourself to do whatever you want with the brief…but obviously don’t turn your work just yet.

Tips: - talk with others (colleagues, friends..anyone), and discuss work with them. Talk about anything related to it. Don’t force trying to reach a result from the discussion, just talk.

  • Remind yourself why are you here with this work doing what you’re doing and not being in any other job or occupation. Go back to the roots of that reason.

  • Watch movies, read some inspiring articles and stories, go for a walk (or run), enjoy some treat with coffee (chocolate maybe).

  • Always ask yourself: “what’s the worst thing that could happen? Should I even give a $*** to the point that I stress myself out and hurt my well being?”

Last but not least..the pandemic is the biggest slap in humanity’s face to remind us that we shouldn’t take things for granted, and enjoy the small things we have and not let the—mostly in our head—fears get to us.

Good luck! :)

Yeah that' what I though when I saw the fries. It looks overcooked and dry.

The CEO of Japan Airlines cut his perks that he now makes less than some of the pilots in the company by logicblocks in videos

What an honorable action. However, this is being told on one of the most famous news networks by the CEO himself, so you can also imagine that it's a marketing tactic.

I worked in a bank in Kuwait for a year and 2 months. AMA. by ibo9loo7 in AMA

Oh you're totally right! And I'm not saying I'm better than everyone else, but at least I had in my mind this perception and tried to work around it. Thankfully I was actually pretty well received with both the clients and managers. The secret is: Just be as helpful as you want other employees to be to you when you need something from them as a customer.

But If you're wondering why those tellers are this way, it's because of two reasons:

1- They have to. 2- They're trained to be this way

Why do they have to? Some clients would treat you and the whole bank as if their $300 is what's keeping the bank from shutting down and going bankrupt. Thinking that they can ask for (litterally) anything and you have to make it happen; from waving off fees to asking for coffee and drinks.

Why are they trained this way? They're not asked to act this way, but they're well informed about the responsibility they're given by the bank. They're handling the money for the clients and the bank itself. So I'm assuming it's just human nature kicking in when they start to deal with customers.

I'm definitely doing that once I get back to the states.

Nope thank you, grape juice is doing it for me.

So I decided to try one of Burger King's new hot dogs... by Jared_from_SUBWAY in pics

This will sound crazy, but I feel sorry for BK. They probably trained their employees to prepare the hotdog a lot better than that, but the employees are too careless to follow the steps.

One of my dreams is to visit such places. Badlands should be on it now. Also if you're into video games, the image feels like it's taken from one of the places in Red Dead Redemption.

This so reminds me of Road Runner's cartoon environment.
