> burnout happens when we become locked in a cycle of caring about the results of our actions but having no meaningful control over those outcomes.
I've never heard it put this way, but that really resonates.
Nowadays, I work harder and longer -for free- than I ever did, when paid.
I don't feel even slightly burned out. If I feel myself starting to get vexed with a problem, I take a break, watch some TV, play a video game, or just take a nap.
But I get more done, every day, than I ever have before. Much higher Quality, as well. I've already made two releases, this morning.
