Panel: Managing professional wellbeing in your UX career
summary
Panel gives concrete checks and fixes: watch for disrupted sleep, appetite, procrastination and rate anxiety out of 10; reduce your adrenaline baseline, name and challenge specific fears, then run small behavioral experiments (limit prep, test outcomes). Use tools like a Wheel of Life and the Emotional Culture Deck, automate routines to beat decision fatigue, enforce boundaries and delegate, and factor cultural practices (eg tangi) into leave plans. Note chronic cortisol shrinks the amygdala but recovery is possible with rest. Practical, measurable steps.
