Yeah, my personal experience over the past 18 months has led to some changes in how I view the structure of work.
I don’t get burned out from working too much; I get burned out from having to make constant decisions about what I’m going to work on and how I’m going to do it. For me lack of structure is the primary source of burnout, not workload. The flexibility of working from home is nice, but not enough to make up for the increased stress of having to manage the environment all on my own.
Obviously not everyone is like me, but I think it’s common enough that we should be questioning the wisdom of the work-from-home free-for-all.
- MattGaiser 5y agoAre you someone who likes firm boundaries between work and life?
- jkhdigital 5y agoI wouldn't say I like boundaries; it's just that without them my mental health suffers greatly. And I'm terrible at constructing and enforcing those boundaries on my own.
- pschuegr 5y ago+1 If you can find a place where the work is more about doing something than figuring out what to do, this sounds fantastic.
