Helping Remote Developers Avoid Burnout

Burnout is a significant issue among remote developers, with 66% experiencing symptoms according to a recent report by DigitalOcean. The most common contributors to burnout include longer working hours than expected, feeling like management expects more from remote workers, and increased stress and anxiety levels. To manage and overcome burnout, it's essential for remote developers to assume responsibility for their time, set clear boundaries, establish fixed working schedules, create routines, take multiple breaks, exercise daily, eat separately from work, spend time with friends and family, make time for themselves, and take vacations when needed. By doing so, remote workers can enjoy the benefits of remote work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
