These days we’re dealing with a job burnout epidemic. Everybody speaks about it, there’s a lot of awareness, and yet things have been getting worse and worse every year. So what have we been missing?

Thoughts on perfectionism and burnout, and how to move away from an all or nothing mindset

After a 2 day hiatus from #NaBloPoMo, today's post is about breaking your streak, and fighting the perfectionist urge to give up altogether. https://amyhupe.co.uk/articles/youve-broken-your-streak/

Notes on burnout, from the depths of burnout.

The Burnout Workbook is finally here! Amelia did an amazing job on it. If you liked the original book, we hope you'll love the exercises in the workbook. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709136/t… #burnout @penguinrandom

Stop recommending therapy for burnout without acknowledging and addressing the institutional problems that cause burnout. You’re unfairly placing the onus on individuals for surviving in a hostile environment. Systemic change is the cure for burnout.

The vocabulary we have around burn out is insufficient. It's often framed as too much work (which is definitely one factor), but I see it also stem from misalignment in terms of strategy or values, lack of recognition, and/or sense of belonging.

If we always approach problem solving from this perspective: it's from too much work => give them less work/time off we'll never really get to the crux of the problem. It's more nuanced than that.

interviewer, looking at resume: i see no gaps here, you must be burned out as fuck job candidate: yes

Burnout is sneaky because you don’t realize you’re borrowing from tomorrow to push through today.

Burnout was months ago. I don’t know what *this* state is.

This week I took medical leave from work to take care of my burnout / mental health. I lost my capacity to take care of myself and enjoy the things I love the most. Now even after one week, I can barely concentrate on anything, even if it was supposed to be “fun”. #burnout

Fully expecting to learn that all the recent high-profile outages were due in part to engineer fatigue Your fave cloud / saas providers are run by humans, and they are very, very burnt out

Originally I took a year long break from coding on the side because of feeling crushed & burned out at work. Now it’s the opposite, my brain is underestimated after work and wants even more challenges & daily wins. Does that mean I’m once again ready to start side projects? ✨

why don’t any of the bad people have burnout

I used to be the type of person who, if time freed up, would replace it with more “productivity” lmao. But then I experienced burnout and learned about energy management. Now I’m about energy management > time management. Focus on the right things rather than the most things.

Last several months were rough, but I am finally able to contribute to the projects again. Thanks to all relatives, colleagues and friends for their support! // burnout...

Burnout is less related to how much you’ve been doing but instead how much progress you’ve been making. When you start feeling burned out, try to figure out which lack of progress is affecting you. Is it your project? A coworker? Another team? Your leadership? Or your career?

I have trouble telling what other people mean by “burnout.” Most of the stuff I’ve seen had led me to believe it was a form of severe exhaustion (and somewhat transient). I have gradually come to understand it’s more like some part of you literally stops functioning.

The real question is... Is anyone *not* burned out right now??

writing a self review is the hard to do when you're feeling burnt out

I wonder sometimes if the rampant burnout and anxiety we feel is because we don’t accept — nor truly believe — that thinking is work. But it is. And thinking can happen anywhere. At the gym. In bed. On a walk. In a sauna. At lunch. Ideas require quiet. Solutions too.

Can you tell I’m feeling a tiny bit less burnt out? 😅

My attention span is so shot. I literally cannot make it through a news article, and haven’t read a book or watched a whole tv series even since 2020. I can’t put the damn phone down. Is this happening to anyone else?

When does energy return?

heal from burnout with this 2-step process: 1.) have lots of extra money and/or few responsibilities 2.) "funemployment"

I am SO BORED but I just cannot make my brain agree to do anything. video games? no. call a friend? no. any of the small tasks I'm letting pile up? no. why??

isn't it weird that burnout is a completely accepted part of our culture. like yeah your job will wring all the life out of you and leave you a hollow husk lol just take a day off and drink more water
