Getting burned out by a side project is, sadly, quite common in our industry. While side projects are not mandatory for developers, they are quite common.
Whether your own side project is technical or not is irrelevant, if you're not careful about it, you will end up burned out by it.
So to help you avoid that tragic end, and keep enjoying your side project, I've recorded this episode looking back at my own experience, and how I managed to get burned out myself and the lessons I've learned along the way.
If you're wondering what kind of advice I'm providing, here are the main points covered during the episode:
- Understand why you're working on it.
- Learn to recognize the signs of an impending burn out.
- Properly plan for it and set realistic expectations for you and the amount of time you'll spend on it.
- Don't isolate yourself from your social circles
