Title: I never thought I&#x27;d write these words but, yeah, it happened to me too: I burned out.<p>I can&#x27;t even stand checking my emails anymore but I manage a team of 5 amazing devs (for a relatively large corp) who clearly started to notice something&#x27;s wrong.<p>The job, the people, the tasks, the work-life balance are all great so the issue lies somewhere else. I eat healthy, exercise every day and have a good social life. I also see a therapist regularly (I started years ago and find it incredibly helpful to gain perspective on various areas of life). But most days I&#x27;d rather spend 3 hours in bed watching Netflix than write a single line of code.<p>I worked on a couple of side projects, and that helped, but I lost motivation to continue that as well. I&#x27;m researching the topic and this community helped me a lot throughout the last few years so I thought I&#x27;d post this.<p>How can I manage responsibilities and deal with this at the same time? Should I delegate my work to someone else for a while? Should I just take a couple of weeks&#x27; vacation? I&#x27;m kind of lost at the moment.
