Discussion on: How do you deal with burnout and low motivation?

[Dan]

1. Take a break (you did already, good! 😃) or reduce working hours to something different

   • Something different may also be coding, experience a bit with other technologies, do everything you have in the "I'll do this later, when I have time for this"-list – I do this right now and it feels great

2. Write down all tasks on one place only, then organize them

   • Most stress comes having a constant huge backlog in your head (“I have to remember doing…“) and from switching context to often (“Need to do this quickly, to finish that…”).

3. Accept failure

   • Really. You dont need to be the perfect code, write the perfect code, solve all tasks. You should aim for the best, but dont act under constraint.

Thank you. I feel that #2 should be an improvement area for me. I've got to get my todo list back in order.
