In my experience, when I'm burnt out, I find a new side project to get excited about. Excitement in one area of my life bleeds into others. I've worked on new apps, starting a company, woodworking projects, training my dog. Whatever it is, find something that awakens you again. It's best if you can see it possibly leading to a new career. That way it'll give you hope for and ownership over your future.
- duncan-donuts 7y agoWhile I tend to do this as well it is important to also say taking time to do nothing is also a good use of time. We can’t do everything and sometimes when you’re already burnt out putting a ton of energy into something new can make things worse. YMMV
- scottndecker 7y agoYeah, for sure. It's a judgment call on if you're overloading or not. The point is to find something you're excited about. Not a million things you're excited about.
