Welcome to a special bonus episode of Skim from the Couch.

This is where we normally go deep on career advice from women who have lived it.

But this week we are turning the mic on you.

We all know that 2020 has been a year, but that has not stopped skimmers from setting

new goals for themselves and making some big changes.

Some of you are switching jobs or even moving across the country.

So my interview is actually all aligned with the week that everything shut down for COVID.

And that was a very crazy reality because do I continue to pursue these jobs to move out of Boston when we don't know what that means right now?

Today we're going to share some of your stories about how you're finding sanity through routine and structure.

Skimmers are telling us that self-care has been really important, whether that's cooking, reading a book, learning to knit,

but the one thing we're hearing most is that nighttime rituals have actually

been crucial. I can attest to that. I feel like I'm, you know, getting relaxed before bed and kind of winding down and taking care of myself.

So during this week's episode we're going to talk about the transformations you've made lately and how a routine has helped keep you grounded even when everything else is in flux.

With this virtual work environment, it's so easy to just be working all day long because, you know, where's that separation of work and life now?

There really, there isn't one unless I'm looking to create that. I started

writing three goals in the morning and then at night before I went to bed I would

write three things that I had already accomplished in the day.
