Hey, I totally understand where you’re coming from. It can be tough to find that balance in a fast-paced industry like tech. One strategy that has worked for me is setting clear boundaries between work and personal time. I make sure to take regular breaks, go for a walk, or practice some mindfulness exercises to clear my head. Also, finding a supportive community of coworkers or fellow tech professionals has been really helpful for me - being able to talk openly about the challenges we face can make a big difference. And don’t be afraid to seek professional help if you need it. Taking care of our mental health is so important, especially in high-stress environments. You’re not alone in this, and finding what works for you might take some trial and error, but it’s worth it in the end. Hang in there!
Hey, I totally get where you’re coming from. Tech jobs can definitely take a toll on our mental health, but it’s awesome that you’re thinking about finding a balance. One thing that’s really helped me is taking regular breaks throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick walk outside or just stepping away from my computer for a few minutes, it really makes a difference. Also, setting boundaries with work and not checking emails after a certain time has been super helpful in reducing stress. And finding a hobby or activity outside of work that I love has been a game-changer. For me, it’s rock climbing. It’s all about finding what works for you, but these things have made a huge difference for me. Hang in there, you’re not alone in this!
