Hi Lou. Thank you for sharing this post! I'm a big believer myself that developers should be having more discussions related to mental health. Two things I would definitely add are reducing overall caffeine consumption and solid mental exercises such as gratitude journaling and meditation.

Hi Chadwin,

You’re very welcome, I’ve experienced burnout personally and so I wanted to write something to hopefully help others as it’s easy to fall into. I do feel it should be discussed more widely.

Thank you for the extra tips! You don’t realise how much caffeine can also have an impact. I’m guilty of coffees myself but definitely trying to drink them in moderation 🙂
