I've seen many colleagues keep grinding, thinking hard work is everything even with signs of burnout. But they're chasing a feeling more than real productivity, which can't be sustained in the long run. Some get addicted to workplace accomplishment and acceptance, paying a high price with their own health.
While I agree, I think that unfortunately, you can't help it. I experience burn out every month and sometimes, I don't even want to open my laptop. But when I remember my real life responsibilities, burn out is secondary. I, however, also try to make sure I don't have an outburst. It changes nothing.
Absolutely, you can’t always help it. I know for me, I had to remove myself from a a role and seek a new one when regardless of my preventative measures, it was not moving the needle. I’m sorry to hear that Ame with the laptop every month. That’s rough.
Yes, welcome Charles. I have found the best way to prevent burnout is to identify the oncoming signs and take the proactive measures to stop in the first place. I had that experience a few years ago in January, where I realized I was heading down the burnout path and needed to stop it. I feel these techniques are applicable to almost any field, not just tech, but my examples are from my experience in the world of tech.

Thank you for sharing this article!
Indeed - it is not sustainable. Thank you Fabio for your thoughtful note.
