We draw inspiration from Surviving the LexCorp Inferno. Here are some practical strategies to maintain your mental well-being in high-pressure environments.

Time Management and Prioritization

The reality of IT work is that everything feels urgent. Learn to distinguish between what’s truly critical and what can wait. Use tools like task managers or calendars to stay on top of priorities and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

The Importance of Documenting Everything

If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen. This mantra is key to protecting yourself and ensuring accountability. Keep records of decisions, changes, and incidents—it’s a small step that can save you from big headaches later.

Practicing Mindfulness and Stress Management

In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to lose perspective. Incorporate mindfulness techniques

like deep breathing or short breaks to reset your focus. Remember, a calm mind is a productive mind.
