No one's going to read this at 6:45pm on a Friday night BUT I've just published a new blog post: Burn baby burnout.

It's based on my talk at @zeroheight's
and explores why design systems are so good at burning us out, and what to do about it

Au fond du gard pour reprendre un peu de souffle et profiter de mon arrêt psy pour surmenage et instance de divorce.
Je ne pense pas retourner à mon taf, (j'ai eu la bonne idée de retourner voir mes mails).
Réjouissant et flippant à la fois, je vais pousser l'arrêt jusqu'au licenciement pour récupérer le max de salaires puis mes 'indemnités de licenciement (30 ans de boîte, ça va leur coûter un bras).

Regarding the last boost, Glen Schofield is the guy that made this dumb little tweet about overworking his team. Sure was worth it, eh?

People like this need to leave our industry - and every industry - forever.

Well, a week ago I wasn't feeling well. My response to stress was way too exaggerated, I was full of anxiety, I started to get panic symptoms.

It's been months my mind couldn't think of other things than work. The pressure was causing me to get obsessed about solving the next problem.

People think ADHD means lack of focus, but it can be quite the opposite. Sometimes, our focus simply cannot stop, and in that state we can't take a break until it's done.

Louisa Dellert wurde 2013 als Fitness-Influencerin bekannt. Dann hat sie sich Inhaltlich umorientiert und macht vor allem Content über Nachhaltigkeit, Klimaschutz und auch ein bisschen über Politik.

Doch es ist nicht lange her, da hatte die 34-Jährige ein Burnout. „Das ist jetzt drei Monate her, dass ich einen sehr krassen Zusammenbruch hatte, zum Arzt gegangen bin und dann entschieden habe, dass sich ganz viel in meinem Leben ändern muss“.

Speaking of and , the impending return of spouse, after nearly three years of in China, has me making my latest pass through the home for decluttering, tidying, etc. I’ve heard that leads to “level 1” hoarding, such as having difficulty getting rid of detritus. I believe it! Once I can get past my executive issue in initiating tasks, it’s easy! 🤣

Now if only I could avoid enough to make it easy all the time!

This day in 2021 was the first day of my 3-month sabbatical.

I had been increasingly overworked for 2-3 years at this point, was way too stressed all the time, and was struggling so fukken hard. Still, I kept pushing through, but I felt like I was a week away from going Hindenburg 1937, but then my good friend and co-founder said, "Buddy, you're toast. Take a few months off, just get better.” My staff had noticed, he had noticed, and they acted.

I'm still very grateful to them.

And the first weeks were brutal. I had such a hard time deciding anything. Answering a simple question like "Want some coffee?” was hard. My wife carried my sorry ass for weeks. I had completely drained my batteries which (among other things) were also powering my decision-making processes, which was weird AF.

I remember going for a walk in Munich, and there was a fork in a road — both paths would take me to the same destination. Still, I stood there dumbfounded for a few minutes.

Fostering a cat when you're in the throes of a mental burnout from social media was probably not a good idea. But omg look at that fuzzy face!

Some typical responses to different levels of in this infographic that lists criteria for different areas on the "stress continuum". I can use this to remind myself that I won't always feel as I feel now (for better and worse).

Thriving: “I got this.”
Surviving: “Something isn’t right.”
Struggling: “I can’t keep this up.”
In Crisis: “I can’t survive this.”

Bonjour les mastonautes!

Je vous offre un capuccino?

Je suis reparti pour une semaine de vacances à la montagne. J'ai eu deux semaines de pause début août, mais les deux semaines de travail depuis ont réussi à me mettre sur les genoux. L'épuisement professionnel est à nouveau proche.

Grâce à mon amie Mi, j'ai pu faire un schéma du dispositif dysfonctionnel dans lequel j'évolue, ça m'a aidé à identifier quelques pistes. Il va falloir être fort au retour.

Thoughts that run through my head almost every day:

Morning: Oof, okay, guess I'm awake. We're all going to die some day, but I'll deal with that after some coffee.

11 am: Hey, I'm doing pretty good! Depression and ADHD are okay, I'm a woman just living my life, things aren't so bad!

2 pm: We must burn down all the corporations to the ground and seize the means of production. Or just blow things up. Blarghity blargh blargh grumble tired....

5 pm: Hey, there's nice and fun things I enjoy doing in life, cool! Let's do some of those things.

8:30 pm: Life is pointless. I should give up on everything and walk into the desert so I never again bother anyone and just stop existing.

Next morning: Oof, okay, guess I'm awake and I'll deal with things after coffee...

We hebben een nieuw woord nodig voor “overprikkeld”. Iets zwaarders. Iets dat minder klinkt als “teveel cola, beetje buikpijn” en meer als “alles is nu een mokerslag, morgen kan ik niet denken en de rest van de week moet ik overal van huilen”.

(Nee ik ben nu niet overprikkeld, dan had ik dit niet geschreven 🙃)

First party in over a year, can’t remember the last Friday I took off from #pixelfed

I’ve been so focused on @pixelfed that I forgot how much I missed my friends.

I needed this, and look forward to being able to spend more time with friends as our platform matures!

Don’t worry, we’re still on schedule for groups and the mobile app release!

morothar, to ADHD

One of the downsides of exploring my neurodiversity and what I'm hypersensitive (and hyposensitive) to is that I feel like I suddenly can't stand things that "never bothered me before". I hate it. I feel like I'm taking some of my own freedom away (and become a bother to people close to me). And like I am suddenly "less capable" of sorts.
It's so hard to untangle the emotions, feelings, and internalized BS (mostly ableism) in this process.

btaroli,
@btaroli@federate.social avatar

@morothar There certainly is a certain amount of acknowledging boundaries and exploring opportunities. I find that most of the things that really irked me before still do, depending on my sensory load and energy level.

One of the most common one for me is sound. Any sound, if I’m burned out or exhausted. That’s when I know for sure I need to curl up in a corner somewhere.

Ausnutzung als billige Arbeitskräfte

Konzerne als Kunden oder Betreiber solcher Werkstätten stellen sich als Retter dar und gaukeln nach außen hin vor, sie würden etwas Gutes für die Gesellschaft und für Menschen mit Handicap tun.

"....als Beispiel könnte man Demeter nennen: Demeter ist ein deutscher Bioverband, an dem sich auch einige Landwirte beteiligen. Auch sie betreiben Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen, sie nennen sie aber „Lebensorte“. Sie haben „Demeter-Höfe“ gebaut, in denen teilweise über 100 Menschen mit Behinderung leben. Es gibt dort „verschiedene Werkstätten, z.B. Landwirtschaft, Gartenbau, Holzwerkstatt, Kerzenzieherei“. Die Menschen, die auf diesen Höfen leben, sind fast vollständig vom Rest der Gesellschaft isoliert. Da sie an einem Ort leben und arbeiten, sind sie immer verfügbar und können oft auch körperlich harte Arbeit verrichten.

Ein Träger für Behindertenhilfe schreibt auf seiner Website etwa: „Arbeit in Werkstätten: Ein freiwilliges Beschäftigungs-Angebot“. Hier wird Arbeit, die sich in ihrer Qualität nicht allzu sehr von der Arbeit nicht-behinderter Menschen unterscheidet, zynisch als „freiwilliges Beschäftigungs-Angebot“ beschrieben......."

https://perspektive-online.net/?p=39503

haschrebellen,

Nicht nur mit Behinderung, bitte! Auch psychisch oder körperlich Kranke, sowie Menschen die keine Arbeit mehr finden, nicht mehr ausbeutbar sind, müssen inkludiert werrden, warum will man Kranke zwingen wieder arbeitsfähig zu werden, um noch weiter ausgebeutet werden zu können? Das ist Sklaverei. Und diese erzwungene Vollbeschäftigung und Wachstum killen und buchstäblich. Aber alle finden, das wäre das normale der Welt? Wie krank ist diese Gesellschaft eigentlich?

Desweiteren kommt man da gar nicht gescheit in Frührente, egal wieviel einbezahlt. Und was ist das mit dem "unter dem Existenzminimum, das unterschritten werden darf, gehts noch?

"Inklusion heißt, die Gesellschaft muss sich dem Individuum anpassen. Nicht das Individuum der Gesellschaft. Das andere ist Assimilation. Wie die Borg."
