Hi all, I’ve been away for a bit since I took a permanent job. I took a permanent job doing something I’d done full-time on a temporary basis. When I worked years ago in this area, I burnt out. I thought doing permanent part-time was the solution; unfortunately, I was wrong. I learnt that for me, as a neurodivergent person working in an environment where 1) you have to multitask and 2) you need to make small talk is a recipe for burnout whether it’s done in a full or part-time capacity.
I decided to rethink things and do something that was more aligned with my interests and something that didn’t involve small talk. I decided to start a podcast and interview people. Interviewing people is less stressful for me as I am talking to people about their life experiences and/or passion projects an interaction that I find less stressful.
I will discuss vocabulary linked to the podcast in future blog posts. In the meantime, the link to the first one is here:
Happy listening!
