Ask HN: How do you know when you are burning out?
by anondevguy on Hacker News.
What are the signs that you’re about to burn out? I have talked about burn out a lot with folks I’ve worked with and trying to avoid it, but I feel like I might be on the cusp of it now and I’m trying to figure out how to recognize it? What have you seen that was the precursor to it, what if anything did you or can you do to avoid it? Right now I think I see a general lack of real energy, more stress from the recent economic impacts to our business, being more short tempered, getting sick more often (colds for instance). Would love any advice or perspectives from the community. Thanks! EDIT: When is it time to change jobs because of it?
