Hi Owen, >> Well, of all the new things I'm experiencing in this job, I'm starting to >> experience burnout.
As someone who experienced almost-complete (i.e., Stage 11 of 12) burnout syndrome in 2016, I want to bring your attention to this (https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/the-12-stages-of-burnout-according-to-psychologist.html), which I wish I knew at least forty years before I finally burned out. For me, the most important takeaway was that the first stage of burnout syndrome is "The compulsion to prove oneself". It doesn’t *lead* to the first stage of burnout syndrome — it *IS* the first stage. Just finding that out (albeit, at 46, far later in life than I wish I had) has made a huge positive difference in my life and work. I am — indeed, I think we all are — very impressed with your work, your work ethic, and your communication on this project. You should be justifiably proud of those things! But also remember: You are enough. =) Best, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer (he/him/his) ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: kie...@kierenmacmillan.info
