The time has yet again come for another 5 questions episode.
For any new listeners out there, that means we’ve taken 5 questions from The College Info Geek Community on Reddit, our Instagram (Thomas | Martin) or Twitter (Thomas | Martin) accounts, email, or anywhere else we might receive them.
Here are the questions were answering this week:
- How can I keep my motivation for personal goals when my job demotivates me?
- How can I work near my significant other without being distracted?
- How can I give feedback to someone sensitive to criticism?
- Do you have any advice on recruiting a team, what roles and responsibilities to delegate, or any other mistakes or best practices?
- How can I find hobbies or other things to help me wind down when I’m not being productive?
