5 Questions: Grades, Credit Cards, and Working While Exhausted (Ep. 230)

Last Updated September 24, 2018

We’re back again this week with another 5 questions episode, as you may have guessed from the title.

This week, we’ll be conversationally answering these fine questions:

  • How can I balance managing my productivity systems with being in the moment?
  • What were our grades like?
  • How can I work when I’m exhausted?
  • Should I cut up my credit cards?
  • What would you say to a person who asked you if they could work for you, for 1 month, for free?

Feel free to let us know on Instagram (Thomas | Martin), Twitter (Thomas | Martin), the College Info Geek Community on Reddit, or anywhere else you can think of if you have a question you’d like answered on the show.

Cheers!
