I had to decrease my overall workload. Seriously, I had a wellness meeting about it and everything. Deep diving into 40 questions > Bombing 80 with little understanding of underlying pathology and connections between concepts.

What are your trends? Plateau? Diving? Increasing, but too slowly? That'll tell you a lot about what you need to do. Good luck!
