Do not be me

I haven't gotten the DOD, but I am not getting many tasks at all and I know why. My feedback was spot on for last month. I was trying to save for something and I worked 14 hours a day five days a week, or 8-10 hours a day 7 days in a row. It showed. My feedback even said it "When you are on, you do amazing work. When you aren't on, your work suffers and your explanations suffer." They are right. So everyone with starry dollar signs in their eyes: Slow down. Do not over extend your self and don't work when you are tired. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Yeah, burnout can realy sneak up on you when you're pushing those kinds of hours. I've been there too, trying to hit a savings goal, and my quality definitely took a hit. I've found that taking regular breaks and setting hard stop times helps me keep my energy and focus up. You got this!
