Here just some random points from me:
- Talk to others about what you’re doing and what is frustrating you
- Don’t do anything that isn’t fun for you and don’t just do it “because you would let someone down”
- Delegate as much work as you can and try to not build ecosystems where you’re the only one doing the work (this also helps with the bus factor)
- Tell others your concerns/frustrations as early as possible, don’t hold it in until you can’t handle it anymore
- Try to not do too much work during holidays
- and sometimes, at least for me, it’s good to not care for a moment and see what happens
Thanks for starting the topic here!
Edit: and the fact that it’s after 10pm on a Friday here and I’m still working on stuff might not help my credibility…
