Welcome to our discussion on dealing with burnout, a common challenge many in our community face. Here, members share their personal experiences and offer support and advice on how to rejuvenate motivation and manage the demands of daily life alongside their professional activities. Key points from the conversation include:
- Feeling unmotivated can be a result of personal life demands, such as being a housewife/mother, and may not necessarily mean burnout.
- Refreshing your camming space and setting small, achievable targets can help boost motivation.
- Ensuring you get enough rest, aiming for at least 8 hours of sleep per night, is crucial for maintaining energy levels.
- Taking short breaks from camming can provide necessary rest and help renew interest in your work.
- Using camming as a reward for completing other tasks can create a positive association and increase motivation.
- Adjusting your schedule to find quiet times for work, such as early mornings or when children are occupied, can help manage work-life balance.
- Lockdown and online schooling for children have added to the challenges, reducing available time and energy for work.
- Community support and shared experiences are valuable for overcoming feelings of isolation and finding new strategies to cope with low motivation and burnout.
Members encourage each other to find personal strategies that work for their unique situations, emphasizing the importance of self-care, organization, and occasionally stepping back to recharge.
