Career development 17h
I’m an interior designer and work at a small agency. I like my job but about two weeks ago our schedule changed from 9:00-6:00 to 7:30-4:30. Management said it would give us more time in the evening with our families.
But it’s been terrible for me. I’m always sleepy, I can’t focus on my work, no ideas come to my head and I keep yawning all day. I even go to bed at 8 p.m.
Do you have any advice on how I can convince management to bring back the old work schedule?
Thanks

    First applaud yourself for the small wins to release dopamine and excite you again. From your question you are still a dedicated staff of that company... but the time rescheduling has affected your perception of productivity so give your mind something to look forward to.
    First and foremost write down everything you have done right in your journal and be grateful for them.
    Now the sleepiness factor may not be from physical rest but mental rest. Rest physically but rest your mind by finding something, someplace or someone that keeps you happy. Go to them or to the place that makes you relaxed and find your peace again.
    Come back to work with peace and a fresh perspective, remember the work hours has not changed only when you start and finish has. So train your mind to adjust to the change by being happy about it.     more

    I would say just ask. Tell them the sudden change is causing an inconvenience for you and you need more time to accommodate.
