The author's theory is that burnout is caused by not doing the things one loves. I have a different, albeit perhaps related theory: burnout is caused by not being able to get in the "flow" for extended periods of time. I can relate to the author's example of having split duties involving coding and not coding, as I'm in the same boat. About half of my week involves developing my company's learning management system, and the other half involves going to meetings about various training activities that are hosted on the system. The latter part is what causes burnout, because the meetings are spread out through the day and totally disrupt my flow. No matter how hard I have tried, I haven't been able to block out large, uninterrupted chunks. As a result, I find myself in these situations where just as I'm about to get in the zone, I get a reminder that says "meeting in 15 minutes!" It has reached a point where I started looking for other jobs. Anyone need a Rails developer? :( |
