> I would say avoid blanket advice like "don't push yourself hard you'll burn out". Burnout is a real thing but it's ridiculously overblown. I get burned out often but it usually only lasts a few days. Successful people mitigate this by taking vacation days, not by deciding to coast through the year.
You probably get frustrated. You're not getting burned out.
- ArnoVW 6y agoIf your point is that some people confuse frustration with burn-out, I can't really argue with that. But from someone who has experienced burn-out, it's definitely not something to take lightly. Real burn out kills your curiosity, your capacity to concentrate, to enjoy things. It's close to depression. And like any disease, once it has you in its fangs, it realise how much you miss the life you took for granted before. I know people that have had to abandon a network and a carreer, and that have not recovered three years on.
