Compartmentalize it. It is a method to earn a living. outside of that, free yourself from it. If it is burning you out, slow down what you can and pace yourself. No one does good work stressed out. Then you need to focus on things outside of the job. go for a walk, play a video game. Spend time doing stuff your SO or pets like. Be there for others outside of work. Read a book. but if you have burnout, that needs to be addressed first.
- giantg2 5y agoThanks. I do try to think of it as just a job. Unfortunately, it doesn't help with the frustration and boredom at work. I have a decent time outside of work.
- downrightmike 5y agoDo you have access to pluralsight or learning.oreilly.com ? Learn something new or hard if that's what you want. I've found that being bored is because I'm being boring. Find something to not be boring over and that will help work it out. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/12579-only-boring-people-get-bored#:~:text=Quote%20by%20Ruth%20Burke%3A%20%E2%80%9COnly%20boring%20people%20get%20bored.%E2%80%9D https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/12579-only-boring-people-ge...
- giantg2 5y agoI do. I only want to learn things that are useful though. There's not a lot of opportunities to do anything interesting on this team. I am working on renewing my AWS certs. I might try going for the professional level cert.
