A volte, vedendo alcune vite di amici, ex-colleghi, sviluppatori o imprenditori nel settore IT, mi viene da pensare in maniera istantanea una cosa sola:
Io sarei andato in #burnout in meno di 10 anni.
Credo che più argomenti, più ne sarei convinto.
Quindi, mi fermo qui.

Blogging Promises, Schedules, and Burnout
On how to establish a sort of blogging/online writing rhythm or routine while avoiding what the kids call “burnout” or ruining one’s enjoyment of his or her online writing endeavor.

Negli ultimi decenni la nostra #identità si è progressivamente definita intorno al #lavoro. Le strutture che un tempo organizzavano la quotidianità, come le #comunità, le appartenenze collettive, i legami di vicinato e di classe, si sono assottigliate, e il lavoro ha riempito quegli spazi. (...) Il nostro ruolo lavorativo ha smesso di descrivere cosa facciamo e ha cominciato a definire chi siamo.

More than one in five workers across Europe — 21.3% — are regularly shifted on Saturdays and Sundays, according to the latest Eurostat data.
And in some countries, the average is well above that, especially across the #Balkans and the #Mediterranean.
In Greece, a striking 41% of employees and self-employed workers are active on the weekend, 33% in #Bosnia-Herzegovina, and 32% #Malta, Cyprus and North Macedonia.
At the same time, the continent's north and east show much lower rates. In #Lithuania, only 4% of workers work on weekends, as do 7% in #Hungary and 7.5% in #Poland.
When it comes to employees only, Greece, #Cyprus, and #NorthMacedonia remain in the top spots with rates above 30%, followed by #Switzerland and Malta, just below at 29%.
On the self-employed/employers' front, #Greece again shows the highest rate with an astonishing 75%. The picture changes slightly in the lower spots, occupied here by #Belgium (66%) and #France (60%).
Working often on weekends doesn't necessarily mean working more overall. In Greece's case, however, the numbers are consistent with other #Eurostat data showing Greeks tend to work more hours than anyone else in the EU.

The Most Common Error I See In Author Life Balance
I follow a lot of self-proclaimed author gurus and I'm noticing that a lot of them are pivoting away from faster writing and shorter times between releases and more toward trying to sell authors on creating a sustainable career and fin

The Sound of Silence
5–7 minutesAh, Sundays…
Even now, (around 40 years later…yikes!) I can still smell the steam from my mum’s iron hitting my school shirt while Dr. David Banner* walked down that lonely road on the telly. (*I know… Dr. Robert Bruce Banner in the comics!)
If you’re a Brit of a certain vintage, you might remember the feeling… That theme tune for The Incredible Hulk was the funeral march for the weekend (usually followed by the post-bath-damp-hair-and-pyjamas dread of Songs of Praise or the Antiques Roadshow theme tune). It was the “Handover” from freedom back to the system.
Back then, we at least had a boundary. We had a window of free time before it slammed shut.
In 2026, the Syndicate has demolished the wall between “living” and “labouring”. We’ve gone from the Sunday night blues to an eternal, 24/7 grindstone.
We’ve industrialised childhood with childcare systems that start almost from birth and pushed retirement ages ever higher across the globe1.
Have we really reached a point where “unproductive” time is only permitted when you’re literally too small to hold a tool or, too old to remember where you put it?!
I spent 15 minutes yesterday afternoon watching an eagle soaring on the mountain thermals.
I wasn’t “mindfully observing” it. I wasn’t recording it for a nature vlog. I certainly wasn’t “optimising my downtime”. I was just… watching a bird.
And then, a strange thing happened. I started to feel almost… guilty about it…
And I realised, that guilt is a pre-programmed feature, not a bug. It’s the voiceless rebuke of the Syndicate in my head telling me that an unproductive minute is a wasted one!
Why does watching a bird feel like a crime against the clock? Because the Syndicate has successfully turned our rest into a resource…
I. The Efficiency Mandate: The 24/7 Factory 📈
The Syndicate has turned our own brains into a factory that never stops. They’ve issued what I call “The Efficiency Mandate”. It’s the rebranding of “rest” as “recovery time” – as if your body is just a piece of hardware that needs to be plugged in and charged so it can get back to work…
We have apps that track our sleep and wearables that buzz if (heaven forbid!) our “unproductive thought levels” get too high.
We’ve outsourced our joy to a spreadsheet. Even our hobbies have to be “results-oriented”. We don’t just bake a cake; we have to photograph it, tag it and measure its “engagement”. We’re hacking our own happiness to gain an upward spike on a graph.
II. The Glitch: The Always-On Brain 🔛
The problem is that a brain under constant pressure to “produce”, eventually just fries its own circuits! We’re seeing a global spike in “Cognitive Burnout“. Data shows that by trying to do everything at 110%, we may actually be causing changes in our brain structure.
I’m the first to admit I’ve been sucked into this. I’m writing this blog in the gaps between the “day job” because I don’t really have an off-switch. But… that’s exactly why we need the Resistance. We have to fight the urge to be “productive” like we’re fighting a fever!
The Syndicate loves a tired brain. A tired brain is suggestible. A tired brain buys the “Premium Subscription” to a meditation app or a streaming service instead of just… turning the phone off. They’re keeping us exhausted while they sell us their “cure”.
III. The Social Recession of Stillness ☮️
We’re losing the art of just being… at peace. For a Scottish Gen Xer, our childhood was 20% staring out of a rainy window and 80% making up games and having fun with our mates. We were the Masters of Boredom.
Now, the five minutes spent waiting for a train has to be filled by “scrolling the feed”. That “busy-ness” is a social wall. When you’re staring at a screen, you’re not part of the world around you.
But when you’re just… there, standing in that space, you’re available for an unscripted, human moment. Every minute you spend being “useless” is a minute you aren’t feeding the Syndicate’s data-beast. Reclaiming your boredom isn’t just self-care… it’s a necessary act of rebellion. ✊
The Citizen Jane Field Guide™️ (The Quiet Rebellion) ✊✌️
The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week (11 – 17 May 2026) is “Action”.
My proposed action? Tactical Inactivity™️.
Let’s reclaim our right to have truly “free” time:
1. The “Hulk” Handover: Tonight, when that “Sunday Night Blues” feeling hits, (the one that used to smell like school-shirt steam and scorched polyester) refuse the handoff. Instead of prepping for Monday’s grind, do something completely “un-optimised” and fun. Dig out an old board game. Listen to an album you haven’t heard in years. Or, even better, have a “Sunday Sundae” with waaaaay too many toppings! Remind your brain that life is for living, not just existing… in between shifts! 🍨🎲
2. The “Pigeon Protocol”: Find a bird. It doesn’t have to be an eagle – it can be a pigeon, a crow, even a particularly determined seagull (depending where you live). Watch it until it flies away. Don’t photograph it. Don’t “identify” it with an app. Just witness it (and its absolute lack of concern for the global economy!). 🐦
3. The “Notification Strike”: You aren’t a Tamagotchi; you don’t need a digital biscuit to exist. If an app tells you that you haven’t “met your goal”, delete the goal! If your watch tells you to “stand up”, stay sitting down out of pure, tactical spite! Or better yet, delete them all! It’s your life, not theirs. 🍪
4. The “Analogue Anchor”: Buy a physical magazine or book. No hyperlinks, no “Related Content”. Just one story, at one speed, with no “Share” button. Take your time. Don’t rush it. 📖 ⚓
5. The “Busybody-Buster”: Next time someone sarcastically asks if you’re “keeping busy”, look them dead in the eye and say: “Nope, I’m being gloriously idle”. Watch their brain glitch (and eye twitch). It’s fun! 😈😛
Join the Rebellion ✊✌️
The Syndicate wants you “Always On” because a busy person never stops to ask: “Why (the f) am I doing this?!”.
Your mission: Reclaim (at least) ten minutes of your day for a task that provides absolutely no value to the global economy. Be inconveniently still. Starve the machine. Do something for you.
What’s the most “useless” thing you’ve done this week just because you wanted to? Let’s share our Downtime Wins in the comments 👏👇

Here's a hard truth. Even when things were at their hardest — I was surviving. I was making it.
Not always well. Not in any way I liked. But I was doing it.
Which meant I could do it. Which meant I could keep doing it. 1/2

A brief burst of work followed by a long #burnout isn't effective, and definitely not sustainable.
Practically, you're going to get less done that way than if you work a little bit at at time (though it doesn't need to be consistent, batching works), over the same stretch of time.
Sustainable isn't just kinder. It actually works better.

And for the blog spotlight, this post by Ky Decker really struck a cord.
There's a lot of talk about AI taking jobs, but often in the sense that AI is directly replacing people. There's another side to it; fighting the rise of AI slop can sometimes be just to exhausting.
Definitely give this a read: https://ky.fyi/posts/ai-burnout

@thibaultamartin I just spent 30 seconds on this platform and realized that the hustle culture is reaching toxic levels. 🚀
We need to talk about the importance of setting boundaries and protecting our mental energy in this fast-paced corporate world. 🧠✨
Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is step away. Who’s with me? 👇

"Every 'no' is a vote for a future 'yes.'"- Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--In the global freelance economy, the pressure is relentless: take everything that comes through the door. Chase every lead. Never leave money on the table. Never turn down an opportunity.
Hustle.
I get it.
I've lived that reality since 1990.
Here's the thing - the tone for the hustle is set right out of the gate. When you're in year one of running your own thing, every email feels like the difference between making it or not. You say yes to almost anything because the alternative of an empty calendar is terrifying. I've lived that reality for a long time. My early years on my own were a frantic hustle of saying yes to anything that looked like it might pay the bills.
But here is what I've learned in the 36 years since: the pivots that worked weren't built on the things I said yes to; sometimes, they were built on the things I said no to.
Every no is a vote for a future yes.
From 1998 to 2001, I was doing, perhaps, 80 to 100 events per year. 4 keynotes in 4 days in 4 different cities all across North America. Travel, a full schedule, prep time. It was exhilarating, but at the same time, I was raising a young family with my wife, writing even more books about the Internet, participating in book tours, and so much more. And when the dot.com collapse happened in 2001, I was not quite prepared to reinvent - to pivot - at the speed the future demanded. It wasn't until 2004 that I finished writing my book, What I Learned from Frogs in Texas: How to Save Your Skin with Forward Thinking Innovation, that I was able to escape the tech lable nd move into the innovation/futurist branding.
I look back sometimes and realize I lost three years that might have made my pivot to a new future easier. I didn't - because I didn't make time for the necessary pivot, because I was too busy saying yes.
I learned a very powerful lesson.
It's hard to think about, but ultimately, saying YES to everything will eventually get in the way of your success.
Keep reading the full post in the link: there's more on why saying NO is the best way to get to YES more often.---
Futurist Jim Carroll has come to learn that the potential negativity in saying NO is one of the most powerful ways to get to the positivity of saying YES.

The Emotional Toll on Writers in the Modern Landscape (And Why So Many Are Burning Out)
How we doing, fellow writers? Are you hanging in there? Everywhere I look in today’s creative landscape, I’m sensing that more and more writers are burning out, and I don’t think the cause is simply too much effort. We also have to acknowledge that at least some of the strain results from the conditions in […]
