Pulse: What were your biggest challenges in 2020?

Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.

We’re on the brink of falling into the new year, and we don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to bid it adieu. That said, we can’t move forward without taking one last peek at 2020 — particularly at the many challenges it presented us with. 

So, this week, we’re asking you, our readers, to share some of the major obstacles that you had to overcome this year. What kept you occupied, and what lessons did you learn? What hurdles did you manage to get past and rise above? (Bonus points if you tell us how). 

We’ll compile a list of the top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
