How do you avoid burnouts?

I think, I am experienced and have crossed the phase which you are going through (assuming IC role). First of all, ‘raising the tickets’ habit will help you operationalise big initiatives without any fear or missed. I will give you an example, amazon is sometimes hated (internally) for over documentation culture. Many a times, writing/style becomes a debate killing the original point. But at majority of times, these documents serve as “clarity givers” at multiple levels, orgs. Processes are alive because they contribute to overall value, with some overheads. For recovery, I take a step back and look at the overall value delivery (cost saving or efficiency improvements) happening with the initiatives. Try looking for more value in adjoining areas. Sometimes, switching off also help in recuperate. In your next career progression, you will focusing more on strategical things reducing the tactical burdens. If you enjoy problem solving, that would be very exciting phase. To reach that phase, you have to cross the current boring phase. P.S. - Sometimes people pivot from current orgs to enjoy the thrill of new learnings🙃

@Jugular TC and level? Would promotion change your ticket-writing routine?

Been through it once. One bad thing we Indian do work as our life. Start bucketing hours for work and develop a life outside work. Life outside work also should have long term commitment. Be objective,
