took a full week off from applying and studying and felt guilty the entire time even though I was clearly burnt out
#burnout#consistency
Six months of job searching, applying most nights after work. Took a week completely off, no leetcode, no cover letters, nothing. Came back to it actually wanting to instead of dreading it. Wish I'd done it two months earlier instead of white-knuckling through.

AnonymousAnon Same, took two weeks after a layoff scare and it was the only thing that actually reset my motivation. The guilt during it was almost worse than the burnout itself though.

AnonymousAnon Needed to read this today. I've been white-knuckling for two months straight and calling it discipline when it's really just avoidance of admitting I'm tired.
