How do you deal with burnout?

Burnout and depression turned my life upside down a few years ago, I went from an ambitious high-performer to a lucky run if I get out of bed. I remember hating everything related to a career and goals that I used to love, feeling empty inside, really empty, I'm not talking metaphors here. It is a feeling that I do not wish on anyone. With ups and downs, sometimes feeling very accompanied and sometimes very lonely, I managed to recover after many attempts. I managed to love what I do again and change my meaning of success, of what I want and how. Those who have been through it know that it is a before and after. Since my recovery, I decided that helping this not happen to anyone else would be part of my life goal.

What's the last acquisition channel that failed for you?

I'll start first: Facebook Ads. We've realized it's simply too early to advertise there (most SaaS companies were optimizing for 12-20 months return on investment, so they could allow to spend much more to acquire a customer). What about you?

How do you feel about Mondays?

Might feel like a strange question but Mondays have adopted a strange place in the professional world, being hated just for existing. I have Sunday anxieties but I wouldn't say I hate Mondays and leaving for the weekend seems like a bad experience to me, what about you?

How do I build a business model out of an open source project?

An open source project run by us today has over 40 odd contributors. We'd like to understand what growth strategy needs to be used here. Does anyone have experience with this?

If money were no thing, what would you do?

Let me preface this by saying I love working I do, I guess I'm more asking what would you focus your passion on if money were not important? We are always told either to follow our passion or stick with what makes the money. Take money out of the equation, what would you do? I'd have a cabin somewhere in a forest overlooking a lake with no internet whatsoever and just live my life with some dogs.

Why do you dislike your task / project management apps?

This is a generalization of course. But do a quick Google search on this topic and you'll see a bunch of articles on this topic with a number of reasons why. I'd like to know your personal issues with task management apps. What type of work do you do and where do these apps help vs. get in the way?
