It’s also exactly what will burn you out and make you question life when your shares become worthless.
There’s nothing wrong with taking a contractor mentality to a full time gig. In fact, it’s one definition of professionalism.
- wisnoskij 4y agoWorking 7 hours a day will not burn anyone out.
- sillysaurusx 4y agoHow old are you? (I’m asking earnestly, not flippantly.)

- sillysaurusx 4y agoDitto. (Hello age neighbor!) It’s interesting we came to different conclusions on this one — I think there’s something here worth comparing notes on, but I’m not quite sure what it is. In my experience, working a consistent 7 hours every day will quite rapidly burn me out. I think it’s the definition we’re using for “work.” When I work, I work hard, and I dedicate my entire mental focus on the task. Doing that for seven hours straight sometimes feels like a small marathon in itself. Perhaps you’re just more effective.
- UncleMeat 4y agoI feel the inverse. Joyless “take tasks off the board and wait for more tasks” work is low-creativity and low-engagement work. Allowing people the freedom to not be slaves to the almighty kanban board mitigates burnout because people can actually experience some satisfaction rather than endless grind.
