Hey guys, I'm 6 months into my new job as a design executive for a marketing brand. And I already feel burnt out. I think it's due to the long hours and overtime. Is it just me, or does every big project somehow end with pulling an all-nighter? I thought leaving art school meant I could finally sleep, but nope. From last-minute client changes to printers messing up, something always derails the timeline. How do you manage your energy during these marathon sessions?

You're not alone. I used to think it was just poor time management, but honestly, it’s the nature of the job sometimes. What helped me: caffeine limits (lol), noise-cancelling headphones, and knowing when to log off, even if it’s just for 20 mins.
