Hi Sam? Welcome to your Tribe. e often have to put more effort in to stay on top of everything This can be mentally and physically exhausting. Are you exceeding or having to exceed your contracted hours to keep up. Are you maintaining a healthy work/life balance? I find I can be overly conscientious.
