Hey there!
We are launching "Burnout Assessment for Remote Teams" on Product Hunt in 1 month! Super pumped and need some help from the community.
Recently we had a heated argument, how remote teams under 50 people manage burnout? Would be glad to hear different opinions.

Curious to hear what others have to say - I think having a strict message from the top down that you need to log off at the end of the day and not linger around online really helps. You need clear boundaries between work and life.

I personally struggle a lot with burnout, and as a founder, I struggle even more to take days off. One of my biggest personal goals is fully shutting off during the weekend. Not reading emails, opening my computer, or doing anything work-related. It's really easy to slip into working for an hour or two each weekend, then you get to the end of the month feeling like you haven't taken a single day off.

Does "remote work" skills (async communications) have any connection with burnout?
@arrowcircle I feel like "this Zoom could be an email" is a proxy metric for burnout
Funny to say it (I'm build a tool for burnout prevention), but I believe that the core is just to do what you love)
I'll be very excited to read this assessment! I loved the study that was shared by another PH member on burnout which lead us to share this on our blog : https://www.dockethq.com/resourc...
