Bingbing feels overwhelmed because her time is highly fragmented due to taking care of her baby, leaving her with little uninterrupted time to focus on tasks like editing audio. This fragmentation makes it difficult for her to concentrate and leads to self-doubt about her productivity and abilities.
The New Zealand Chinese Rainbow Alliance is a long-standing LGBTQ+ community organization in New Zealand, primarily run by volunteers. It focuses on supporting Chinese LGBTQ+ individuals and families, and it has recently expanded its activities and organizational structure with new funding and projects, such as a handbook for rainbow families.
Dami feels she has become more conservative due to her changing priorities as she ages. She now considers factors like mortgage payments and job stability before making career moves, which contrasts with her earlier willingness to take risks and explore different industries.
Working from home has blurred the boundaries between Joyce's work and personal life. She often finds herself working irregular hours, including weekends, and struggles to separate work from leisure. This has led to a lack of excitement for weekends and a sense of monotony in her daily routine.
Bingbing faces challenges in her job search due to the competitive job market, the time-consuming nature of writing tailored cover letters, and the emotional toll of repeated rejections. She also struggles with balancing her job search with her responsibilities as a new mother.
The 'life countdown' refers to the hosts' awareness of time passing and the pressure to achieve certain milestones before reaching a specific age, such as 40. This creates anxiety, especially when they feel they lack the time or resources to accomplish their goals.
The pandemic has led to significant changes in the hosts' work and life dynamics, particularly with the shift to remote work. While it offers flexibility, it has also blurred the lines between work and personal life, leading to feelings of monotony and a lack of work-life balance.
The hosts believe that putting effort into work can help combat burnout by providing a sense of accomplishment and purpose. For example, Bingbing found renewed motivation after successfully launching new products, which boosted her confidence and reduced her feelings of burnout.
The 'job search fallacy' refers to the tendency to base self-worth on external validation during the job search process. The hosts emphasize that rejection does not reflect personal failure and that it is important to focus on one's strengths and achievements rather than relying on others' opinions.
