Monthly Tech Night - Chaos to Calm: Rhythms to Manage Work Day Overwhelm

Join us for our Monthly Boulder/Denver Women Who Code (WWCode) Tech Night! Note that this month our event is on June 12th and not the first Monday of the month.

✨Lightning Talk ✨
Title: Chaos to Calm: Rhythms to Manage Work Day Overwhelm

Summary:
When I started working in tech 8 years ago, ‘panic’ was my driving force. I spent the day overwhelmed and used that adrenaline to get work done. It was a fast-lane to exhaustion. After a couple of years, I found myself worn down and wishing for a different way. I wanted to work out of ‘intention’ rather than ‘overwhelm’. In this talk, I’ll be sharing 4 practices that have helped me to mitigate overwhelm at work. I’ll also introduce you to a method to benchmark your own overwhelm as you work toward a calmer work day.
