Feeling pretty burnt out after my last project that had bad teammates not being committed. Unable to take real vacation due to starting a new project. Any tips to help me get out of this rut?

If there’s a way for you to even take a 1 week staycation, do it. And plan a full vacation ASAP to be able to communicate dates to your new project. It’s really hard to just keep burning - setting yourself up for trouble.

What EY 1 said. A good weeklong staycation will definitely do you wonders. It’s a chance to get your mind off work, maybe read a book, or doing other shit you haven’t had the chance to do in a while

But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
