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.
For me, it's a guy named Marko Lazic who's building luccid.ai, which allows you to design your dream home. The reason why it's Marko is that he had to overcome a lot of challenges to get to where he is now and he's also building a kickass product to disrupt an old-school industry.

We have two teams in different parts of the world, with 16 hours gap. Here are some tips we use so we don't burn out and die...
1. Set boundaries: Establish specific work hours and avoid overworking. Block sleeping hours. 2. Prioritize and plan: Focus on essential tasks and use productivity tools. 3. Communicate clearly: Share your availability and use collaborative tools for effective communication. We use google calendar and share internally. 4. Be flexible: Adjust your schedule to overlap with the other time zone when needed. Still have 3 meetings each week with two teams. 5. Take breaks: Rest and recharge throughout the day. An afternoon nap is so important!!! Please share your tips and tools here.
