When couples create artificial urgency around career timelines

My partner and I are both trying to launch our careers and we've created this atmosphere where everything feels urgent - every opportunity, every deadline, every decision - and we're exhausting ourselves competing with a timeline that might not even be real. We keep saying we should slow down but then one of us gets anxious about falling behind and we're back to emergency mode.

What we've seen

You're manufacturing crisis together when what you need is to distinguish between real timing and invented pressure.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Urgency — manufactured and real?”
