I burn out a little bit, but I try to avoid Major Burn Out. I just turn off. I didn't email or code for a week last month. Just tuned out. This December I'll take at least two weeks off and work on ME. Self-care matters. If you can (given economic factors, etc) you gotta just UNPLUG. Gotta unplug before you plug back in and keep engaged.

How do you continue to keep engaged with the various issues impacting tech today?
Have you burned out and if so, how did you overcome it?

What's your go-to unplugging activity?
Competitive Sleeping! I can sleep at the Olympic level. ;)
I play with my kids, my Nintendo Switch and Xbox, walk, Marvel movies, Netflix, work out, books, 3D printing.
