rePost::Burnout Prevention and Recovery

This one is from MIT. I’m beefing up on stress prevention/recovery stuff because I’m starting on a new job/company/position this monday. The new position would entail more challenging stuff technically and probably socially. I fear for this blog. hehe.

Burnout Prevention and Recovery


  1. STOP DENYING. Listen to the wisdom of your body. Begin to freely admit the stresses and pressures which have manifested physically, mentally, or emotionally.
    • MIT VIEW: Work until the physical pain forces you into unconsciousness.
  2. AVOID ISOLATION. Don’t do everything alone! Develop or renew intimacies with friends and loved ones. Closeness not only brings new insights, but also is anathema to agitation and depression.
    • MIT VIEW: Shut your office door and lock it from the inside so no one will distract you. They’re just trying to hurt your productivity.
