As someone over a year into a burnout... good for them for guarding themselves from overextending. Maintaining a project is hard even if you have the whole of your energy and attention to devote. It's a lot harder when you're trying to power through.
I've held off finishing and releasing half a dozen projects over the last year because while I think they'd be useful I know I don't have bandwidth to support them.
- slg 5y agoI don't know how anyone could have avoided being in some stage of burnout over the last, let's say, 17 months.
- OtomotO 5y agoThe last 18 months were the best of my life. Not looking forward to what the majority calls "normal"
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI assume this means you’re working remote and it benefits you? If so, that’s awesome and it should be accommodated! Edit: I take that (assume) back and wonder if there’s other social benefits you’ve gotten from isolating regardless of work conditions. I also support that if so!
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI don’t disagree at all! But let’s just say I’m waiting out a severance contract before I talk in more specifics about mine because damn.
