When the insight arrived, I didn’t notice the connection to the trail I’d laid on the preceding pages. My experience was of making no progress, and then, finally, making some. In hindsight, I can see that I had been making plenty of progress over those weeks; I just couldn’t tell at the time. I suspect this is pretty common in my work. So, “I feel like I’m not making progress” is probably not a good local heuristic for guiding my work. Alternately, the lesson might be that I need to become more sensitive to the many subtler flavors of progress in this kind of work
This rings true. The friction, the struggle is the work, at least when it comes to my knowledge work. Interesting is that when the jump happens I tend to phrase it as an escape, a way of fleeing forward. When I got stuck in a major research project in 2020, the key insight to unlock it was a gasp of desperation more than a bolt of lightning. Colleagues immediately told me that was the key, but to me it felt like using a cheat code. Now in hindsight, I think it was the best possible outcome but that oroginal sense of escape remains.

ut I’ve also noticed that when I focus my work on particular people in particular contexts, that more immediate emotional connection sometimes overpowers the day-to-day frustration that comes with being lost in the woods. For several long stretches this year, I found the work really gratifying, both in the moment, and retrospectively over the long term.
Matuschak through focusing on specific people in a specific context, entering into a deeper emotional connection would provide meaning both in the now and over the long term. This certainly applies to my work #hazp08 and perhaps all my project that stand out in hindsight either have that or are singular efforts where the doing held such a link to myself.
-
By contrast, when I’m doing work that I find gratifying and meaningful over the long term, the day-to-day experience is usually frustrating and unpleasant. The work is gratifying because it’s deep and personal and unique. Unfortunately, in my projects, those same attributes also mean that progress tends to be inconsistent and hard to discern; it’s rarely clear what to do next; there’s rarely anyone I can ask for help; I usually feel incapable.
I find the concepts behind my work meaningful, and enjoyable, but usualll not the work. The most enjoyable work usually is disconnected from anything else.

Throughout my career, I’ve struggled with a paradox in the feeling of my work. When I’ve found my work quite gratifying in the moment, day-to-day, I’ve found it hollow and unsatisfying retrospectively, over the long term. For example, when I was working at Apple, there was so much energy; I was surrounded by brilliant people; I felt very competent, it was clear what to do next; it was easy to see my progress each day. That all felt great. But then, looking back on my work at the end of each year, I felt deeply dissatisfied: I wasn’t making a personal creative contribution. If someone else had done the projects I’d done, the results would have been different, but not in a way that mattered. The work wasn’t reflective of ideas or values that mattered to me. I felt numbed, creatively and intellectually.
[[Andy Matischak]] on the value and quality of his work. Over the long haul, he found his work (at Apple) meaningless, even if it felt good at the time. The statement 'if someonee alse had done the work' the results would have been similar chimes. My work may be seen by others as meaningful in the moment, but I only see that it doesn't matter in the long run. A million others for any of us. M writes he felt confident, I never had any answer to the question what I'm good at. I just get total internal silence in response, and always have gotten.

Tatsächlich kostet es aber auch jede Menge Geld, wenn man es richtig machen möchte. Immerhin fallen Server, Strom, Backup & Co. nicht vom Himmel, sondern wollen bezahlt werden. Und solange eine allgemeine "Geiz ist geil"-Mentalität vorherrscht, funktioniert das nicht im großen Stil, denn dann tragen einige wenige die Kosten für ein größeres System. Das ist zutiefst unfair, das führt zu Burnout, das führt dazu, dass Menschen irgendwann keine Kraft mehr haben, sich zu engagieren. Solche Fälle gab und gibt es in der Open-Source-Szene immer wieder, und das wird an dieser Stelle nicht anders laufen.

Télétravail et burn-out
Nous avons là un titre simple, mais en apparence seulement. Car la liaison grammaticale établie entre les deux termes "télétravail" et "burn-out" dit déjà que l'auteure fait l'hypothèse d'une causalité, ou au moins d'une corrélation, entre ces deux notions. En l'occurrence, le télétravail pourrait conduire au burn-out. C'est la position que va ensuite défendre l'auteure.
Précisons d'ailleurs que, dans le corps de l'article, l'auteure aborde d'abord la question du burn-out, puis seulement celle du télétravail. On pouvait donc s'attendre à ce qu'elle intitule son article "Burn-out et télétravail". L'inversion des termes me semble dès lors très significative de la direction de la corrélation.
En bref : on a, dans ces deux mots et leur liaison, tout l'article en résumé. Le télétravail n'est pas une réponse satisfaisante au burn-out mais, au contraire, le télétravail peut mener au burn-out là où il est censé le soigner.

Don't let burnout creep up on you. Working remotely can allow us to create bad habits, such as working straight through lunch to get something finished. Once in a while this feels good, perhaps to check that nagging task or big project off the list, but don't let this become a bad habit. Before long, you'll begin to feel the effects on your body and see it in your work.
-
When you recognize symptoms of burnout in others, help them to get out the "Burnout trap". Don't just tell people to take a break, but help them arrange things so they can take a break. Ask why they feel they can't take a break (there are almost certainly real, concrete reasons) and then ask permission to get busy putting things in place that will overcome those barriers. People might be trapped by their own fatigue, being too worn out to find the creative solutions needed to take a break.

these signs will help you prevent burnout before it starts – or work to fix it if you need a way out.
Ways to beat burnout:
- Take less job responsibilities
- Identify what gives you energy, and what drains it
- Manage your digital distractions
- Don't give all of your energy to work
- Just say "no" to too many projects
- Make self care a priority
- Lean on your support network
- Manage well
-
People who feel burned out at work find their home life is more likely to suffer too. This may be because when jobs get more demanding, people put more time and resources into them, often at the expense of their private lives.
Burnout also affects your private life
-
57% reported feeling like they need to check in with work – even when they are on vacation
Need to be "on the call" even after the work is one of the greatest burnout symptoms
-
these symptoms suggest that you may be more than stressed:
Symptoms of a burnout:
- You’ve become cynical or critical at work
- You drag yourself to work and have trouble getting started
- You’re irritable or impatient with co-workers, customers or clients
- You lack the energy to be consistently productive
- You find it hard to concentrate
- You lack satisfaction from your achievements
- You feel disillusioned about your job
- You use food, drugs or alcohol to feel better or to simply not feel
- Your sleep habits have changed
- You’re troubled by unexplained headaches, stomach or bowel problems, or other physical complaints
-
when the feeling of being completely overwhelmed at work persists, it can spiral into burnout – a growing epidemic with serious consequences for your health and your career.
