Designers: We are perpetuating our own burnout problem

Summary

Designers contribute to their own burnout by overworking and not setting boundaries, a problem indie builders should actively avoid.

Key Insight

As an indie builder, you're both designer and everything else; consciously prioritize sustainable work habits from the start to prevent burnout and maintain long-term productivity.

Action to Take

Today, define your 'non-negotiable' work boundaries (e.g., no work after 7 PM, dedicated time off) and communicate them clearly to yourself and any collaborators.
