-* RE: Burnout
-I recently read
-[[https://drewdevault.com/2023/05/01/2023-05-01-Burnout.html][Drew
-DeVault's post on burnout]] around the same time I was pulling out of a
-burnout rut myself earlier this month. Finally, seeing the light at the
-end of my burnout tunnel made me want to write my first post back on
-this topic.
-
-* Busy Seasons on Busy Seasons
-My career deals with busy seasons, generally driven by client demand.
-This last year, I dealt with a harsh busy season from Aug to Oct 2022 to
-issue a few SOC reports for the period ending 2022-09-30. Immediately
-following that, I had to pivot and found another busy season from Oct to
-Jan for financial statement audits ending on 2022-12-31. Then again,
-supporting other clients from Jan to Mar 2023, followed by my current
-client workload aiming for SOC reports due on 2023-06-30.
-
-The result? A busy season that has lasted from August 2022 through
-today. I will likely be rushing throughout the next month or two before
-I have a brief break and need to focus on the 2023-09-30 SOC reports
-again. While auditing and consulting always involve a busy season, this
-is the first time I've had one last 9+ months without a break.
-
-While it's been tough, I have a handful of breaks pre-planned throughout
-this next cycle and should be able to moderate the level of commitment
-required for each client.
-
-* Refocusing
-Outside of work, I finally have time to work on hobbies such as this
-website, programming, athletics, games, etc.
-
-You may have noticed my absence if you're in the same channels, forums,
-and rooms that I am, but I should finally be active again.
-
-I'm hoping to break an item out of my backlog soon and start working on
-building a new project or hack around with a stale one.
