Greetings, dear friends! My first article on this topic, do not judge strictly :) I am writing this article in between preparing for the second stage of the interview. As soon as it passes, I will definitely write about it. Writing helps me take my mind off preparation. This article will not be related to programming and yet it is very important for a programmer. The problem of professional burnout exists and it cannot be avoided just like that. And what is it actually? Let's go to Google, the first link says: Occupational burnoutis a syndrome that develops against the background of chronic stress and leads to the depletion of the emotional, energetic and personal resources of a working person. In order to become a Java developer, you need a LOT of emotional, energetic and personal resources. Because you need to know and understand a huge number of frameworks, tools, libraries, etc. And over time, this number is growing. And the most difficult thing is at the beginning, when you need to master some basic number of them. And the question is what to do so that you don’t “burn out” at the stage of training? ... I also thought about this question at one time, but I had some knowledge, which I want to share with you!
I really love playing board games! It was a discovery for me, a couple of years ago I tried it. We started with the game "Monopoly", but it turned out to be not enough and the fact that it is heavily dependent on the cube pulled us further and then we played the board game "Colonialists", which also had a cube, but it is more interesting as a strategy. Moreover, it is in the Colonizers that we constantly play, the beauty of it is that the map is not static and is always laid out randomly and each time everything is different. In pursuit of complexity, we started playing top games such as "Game of Thrones" and "Civilization", in which only thoughtful reading and explanation of the rules takes at least 2-3 hours. But it's worth it.
Here, of course, it is more difficult and the entry threshold is higher than in board games, but it's worth it. This is exactly the part in the wheel of life that relates to creativity and personal growth. I play guitar. Of course, I learned this before I started programming, but I'm sure that learning to play "4 thieves chords" on the guitar is not so difficult to start with. But the effect will be amazing!
One of the strongest motivators is to develop in the name of or for someone. Most recently, I got married, I have a young beautiful wife, for whom I want to bring the laurels of my victories. With her, I develop all the time, become better. Moreover, this is a great responsibility, which also disciplines.
Dreaming is one of my favorite things to do. My wife and I do this very often. And then after we dream, we sit down at the table and set goals. Goals that will make our dreams come true. While we dream, we live.
No successful person can do without goal setting. At the moment, I'm talking about those people who have achieved everything themselves, but did not inherit. It is those who, through work and sweat, have achieved everything in their lives. There is an excellent, proven technique - SMART goal setting
