Your brain on remote work

Since all our Cowork Con material is pre-recorded, I get the amazing opportunity to screen it ahead of time and WOW. Here's a sneak peek of the What the Mental Health panel discussion.

Working from home + baby who won't sleep = total chaos

Business owner & mom of three Michelle Briggs is a panelist at Cowork Con sharing her experience of working from home throughout the pandemic & afterward. Her youngest hasn't been sleeping well, and she's noticed sleep deprivation has been impacting her mental health. She notices:

  • Coping mechanisms fall off

  • Patience is razor thin

  • Feeling really emotional

  • Wanting to shut it all down & quit

Been there? I know I have. Michelle shared this amazing advice.

She's learned that when she's feeling like that, she tells the people close to her she can't make big decisions, have big conversations or do any deep work.

I'm going to give that a shot, too. And it's one of many nuggets I learned from the incredible panel discussion. You'll have a chance to watch it yourself and even chat about it with others at Cowork Con. Get your ticket here.
