Who’s looking out for us?! A cautionary tale of BURNOUT and Recovery
summary
Burnout hits twice: first in 2016 road trip collapse after flying Austin → New Haven → Baltimore and crying in a rental car, then again in 2021 relapse when motivation vanishes. Recovery uses a coach, a one‑hour gaming ritual to shut out noise, and hard boundary work: say no, book time off. Warnings include dangerous context switching that leads to mistakes, travel‑driven deprioritization of projects, and long four‑hour Twitter Spaces that exhaust rather than help. Leadership must back limits.
