One of the first lessons I had to learn about being a grownup versus being a student (from my professional experience anyways) is that stuff doesn’t wrap up like it did.

You used to have semesters end, jobs segmented into little chunks for you, tasks carefully curated. Now there’s a todo list a mile long, and you (or your boss) has to prioritize.

And that’s okay! It’s just…different. And discouraging, until you figure it out.
