A comment on Ask HN: What do you do when have free time?. Parent comment
I luckily dodged a burnout just in time. Symptoms were insomnia, thinking I wasn’t good enough and bursts of anger.
My problem was thinking about work and getting better at my craft all the time. I didn’t take time for myself, didn’t exercise and had a bad diet.
But it’s hard to convince someone to take care of themselves. Sometimes you have to hit the ground.
