A day of masking

Interface

When I mask, I always start out like this

By the end of the day I'm like this

Thankfully the company I work with are more than good to me and my boss is allowing me to work from home at the moment. I wish I could be at home all the time, it won't last but I am enjoying this immensely.

  • Working from home should alway be a viable option for people. Maybe you could work something out where you work from home half of the week? It maximises productivity as I'm guessing you are most productive in your own environment. It's all stuff you will need to find a way with. Regardless of how you feel about AI tools. I use chat gpt to help write letters to convey ideas in a formal manner so your intent is understood yet us favourable to your employer. Never allow yourself to be in an environment that is damaging for more than is necessary. I did that and the mask tore my spirit to ribbons i lost almost 5 years of my life and still recovering.

    Good advice.

    Masking is bad for us, physically and mentally. Too much will eventually lead to burnout.

    It is a tool which can help in some situations, to get by in this world, but we must use it sparingly.
