Burning out and quitting
I’m burnt out. If you’re reading this, there’s a strong chance you’re burnt out too. We’re about to have, uh, a moment, so brace yourself.

This was such a great read on burnout. I also have a lot of links to follow up on from here.
“I never thought I’d take five months off, without being able to explain to a future employer what I was doing. It felt like too much. But here we are. I hope they’ll be empathetic and understand - and honestly, it’ll be a red flag if they don’t. But I also think that this will become so common, that it’ll be normal. “Oh, you took a few months off in 2021? Me too.” (“Oh you gained 15lbs in 2020? Me too.”) If you have the financial ability to, don’t feel like you can’t quit your job. Your sanity is worth it.”
