what to do when you are completely burnt out from working on a project ?
- by dfafa
so i started this SaaS project around July 2009, was expecting to finish it in 2 months.
i ended up working on it for about 4 months straight, spending about 6~12 hours nearly everyday.
then one day i just couldn't bare to look at the code. it seems like my efforts are being sucked in by some black hole. i would need to put lot of work to make incremental changes.
i felt burnt out in December....and now it's May. i am working on the project maybe for about 10 hours every 2 weeks...i am not getting much done.
it seems like it will never be perfect. the more i code, more problems and bugs to fix, its absolutely sickening.
so what should i do now ? i have invested all of my available time and money, i've shut off all social connections and basically have been spending most of my time in my room working on my project alone.
i feel consumed by this project i created ironically, to make my life easier.
