I burned out. 💀

It's a difficult thing to admit but compounding chronic burnout is something so many of us face every day and don't deal with head on. Usually we see the consequences after it's too late. I'm so thankful for those around me who pointed it out and helped me escape from the tunnel vision that has been blinding me!

After taking a bit of time away from work, I've realized how much I've been stretching myself thin and how much I have overcomplicated both my work and personal life over the years.

The outcome? I sold my house, I'm downsizing, I'm simplifying, I'm refocusing, and I'm moving to a place that brings me closer to all of the amazing outdoor adventures I once cherished.

I'm so excited for fresh perspectives. I'm eager to revitalize my physical and mental health, personal life, and career.

Just know if you're feeling this way, it's never too late for change. Take care of yourself. Simplify.

Here's to new chapters and fresh starts!

@RCreamer fantastic news. I'm in the process of relocating somewhere very remote and staying connected for work was always the biggest unknown and fear for me. Seeing stories like yours makes me feel much more confident! Thanks for sharing.

@interdependence that's great to hear! Everyone I talk to seems to have similar experiences too which is fantastic 👏

Today I worked remotely using #Starlink for the first time in the middle of nowhere and I was absolutely blown away.

It was so easy to set up and I had zero issues with video calls which was my biggest concern. Work felt the same as if I was in the city, and there were times where I forgot I was even using it. Truly a gamechanger for remote workers and digital nomads! Very curious to see how it performs during one of our great Canadian snowstorms 👀

Starlink veterans, what has your experience been working remotely with it? Pros and cons?

@steepercecilia I did! This was at Toronto Comicon. It was my first time attending a Comicon, but it was so much fun!

I got to meet one of my heroes today, Andy Serkis!

Stack Five is officially closed for 2022! I'm so thankful for another phenomenal year with our amazing team. 🎉

One of the things we've always prioritized is closing up shop for the last two weeks of December. Our team always comes back feeling so fresh in the new year, plus there's nothing better than spending the holidays with family and friends without work looming in the back of our minds.

I hope everyone has an amazing holiday season! ❄️
