How to cope with a job you don't love when quitting isn't an option, yet

Here's exactly what to do. Save for later. 1️⃣ Write down exactly what your job funds. Rent, savings, the business you are building. Reread that list when you feel like you cannot take another day. 2️⃣ Set hard boundaries and keep them. No emails after a certain time. No work apps on weekends. Lunch away from your desk. Every day. 3️⃣ Pick one or two skills you need for your next role and practice them in your current job. Your current job is free training if you use it right. 4️⃣ Spend more time with colleagues who support you. Less with the ones who complain about everything. 5️⃣ Stop watching the clock. Tell yourself after this call I get a break. After this email I go for a walk. Small finish lines make the day feel shorter. 6️⃣ Build small resets into your day. Two minutes of breathing before a stressful call. A five minute walk after a tough meeting. 7️⃣ End every workday with three things. What went okay, what you finished, what you learned. Sixty seconds. Every day. 8️⃣ Protect one thing every week that has nothing to do with work. One thing. Non negotiable. 9️⃣ Log every win at work no matter how small. You will need that list sooner than you think. 🔟 Write down your exit number. The savings, the certification, the clients. Then pick two or three things to hit in the next 90 days. Knowing what you are working toward makes staying bearable.
