@tvrdek @peeplaja @mayli Thank you for this feedback Jerry! :)
Overpromised and took on more than is healthy at the start of this autumn. But I made it through 4 weeks of teaching and managing two client projects. Just wrapped up a final workshop.
Tomorrow is grading papers and @UXPodcast work and then I will sleep like a baby this weekend.
Note to future self: don't do this again.
