Have you ever been burnt out? If so, what happened and what did you do to swing back into things?

Question

I was having a personal discussion with one of my close friends about this today and would love to see some personal stories from the PH community on this one!

I took a full week off and knew that I would be ready on the Monday when I returned. I think it is actually good to take time off when you need to recharge!

Lakshmi · Answer

Yes, just like all the above comments, my best solution to a burnout is a complete rest and break from the routine. My breaks have been anywhere from a weekend to a few weeks.

This has happened 3times in 1.5 years and each time it gets solved by taking a break 
I would watch some web-series , read books , plan things in that time.
In my latest break i watched "Silicon Valley" and i was back to working in 4days. 🚀

It's not common, but the last time it happened, I took a full weekend off and went a small trip with my wife. Came back Monday ready to keep going 👌

@roberto_robles Sounds like a break is the answer!

@wael_khattar1 Love this comment Wael. This is exactly what I do today as well - I always leave a gap in the week to take some time off

As for me, I am trying to relax, travel and spend time with my family

@daffinity Haha Silicon Valley would be an awesome watch during a break
