The Garden

I built The Garden as a collection of burnout remedies — meditation, exercise, time management, the usual suspects. Thought I could help people.

Then severe burnout hit me. Hard.

Suddenly I'm sitting there, looking at my own list of remedies, realizing none of it could touch what I was experiencing. Made me feel like a fraud. Here I was, offering solutions I couldn't use myself.

So I closed it.

That forced a stop. Time to figure out what was actually happening. I wrote about the whole thing in Coding Through the Storm: My Battle with Burnout.
