it seems that every time i work on a programming project, that happens within 6 months. i'm currently in another burnout phase, it's been gping on for year and a half, basically.

Something similar happens to me, I concluded a project and ever since the only thing I do is work. I’ve lost motivation to create something else since early last year 😔 I’m hoping having a break and taking my PTO helps, if not I foresee getting depressed about it.

@JKyll

ever since the only thing you do is work?

as in, programming work?

ever since it happened to me, I don't even do my programming work (project). instead I just do random one-day temp jobs so I have a bit of money without the need to do any programming at all.

(luckily my boss is extremely cool, and the project i currently have from him has no deadline, the deal is "when you finish it, you get paid, the rest is up to you")
