If you’re feeling burned out, it’s too many.

One is too many

For me, it's less about counting the weekends and more about knowing when there's going to be a break.

The burnout is real though. Is there a safe person on your time who's higher up that you can speak to about this? At a certain point, it's a scope/management issue.

What’s a “weekend?”

It’s interesting to see several articles and surveys emerging saying the initial bump in productivity from mass remote working has started to come down or even go negative as the novelty wears off and people start to get worn down from longer hours, the stresses of having kids at home full time, burn out from increased workloads, stress from the pandemic, etc. Curious to here people’s thoughts, do you think you’re less productive now than back around the April timeframe?
