Picture this: it’s Monday morning, the cat has already been sick on the carpet twice today, and as you get your morning cup of coffee ready you realize the milk’s gone off (of course).
You finally get settled at your desk only to notice your laptop installing an hour’s worth of updates (of course), so you resign yourself to checking your emails from your phone. By the time your laptop is done updating you’re already late to your first meeting (of course) and as you hear the delivery driver ring your doorbell, your new, overly enthusiastic product manager (PM) once again proposes a sprint scope so large, any hopes you had of minimizing your burnout symptoms go right out the window.
