More to say on burnout and I'm probably going to boost it a few times because folks need to hear it:

Burnout is a form of brain damage. It happens when stress conditions persist until they damage our brains.

It's an injury that needs to heal, not a weakness that needs to be pushed through.
Man burnout can mess you up for a very long time.

And it can sneak up on you: things can seem stressful but mostly manageable until suddenly they're not manageable.

Self care and vacation are great, but they're guardrails: they don't help when you've already fallen in.

In a world that asks "how can we do more with less", it's easy to forget the importance of self-care. My latest post is about recovering from burnout and the power of self-care. Read it here: arevolutionarytechnologist.substack.com/p/recovering...
