Keepin' It Together!

This week's newsletter is going to be a little different than usual, so if you're new to these:

Welcome, and thank you for being here!
... Usually I take a hot topic from Code Commute, write about it, and then do an AMA on this on my main Dev Leader YouTube channel.

But over the last couple of months I've been letting it leak out more and more. I can't really keep it in much longer:

I am completely and utterly burnt out.

Exhausted. I can't get out of bed in the morning but I need to get onto meetings. I can barely make it through the workday but I have meetings after hours. There's not much left in me and it's made everything outside of work devoid of enjoyment. That becomes a vicious cycle because I need something that I can enjoy so that I can pull myself out of it.
