Question by Laurel, Marketing and Communications Manager
asked on 2020-08-03

How can I stay motivated when an integral part of my job focuses on social media and monitoring our social channels, when it seems like everything coming across social is dark, heavy news? It is very draining, as social media is filled with information about COVID, racial injustice, the upcoming election, and so much more. It is all vital information to be reading, but when reading and seeing it constantly, it can become demoralizing. How can I make sure I stay motivated to do my job well while not falling into a cycle of despair every time I open our Twitter?
