You Love It—So Why Are You Exhausted? The Burnout Puzzle
by Bjorn Orstad | at Minnebar 19 | 2:55 – 3:35 in Proverb-Edison | View Schedule
I think that we all have experienced burnout at one point or another. I thought that burnout could only be related to school or work, but the reality is that burnout can strike any activity. I love game development. I'm not very good at it yet, but it's fun for me, so why is it that after 3-5 months of working on a project, I can't bear to see it ever again? I love that project, and I love making games, so what gives?
Join me in learning about the history of burnout, the effects of passion on burnout, and how we can make our hobbies (and our work) fun again.
Bjorn Orstad
I am a 17-year-old health and tech enthusiast with aspirations to be a psychiatrist. I go to school at Exploration High School and Minneapolis Community and Technical College. I enjoy learning about consumer tech and its history. The only real personal tech industry experience I have is that I enjoy creating indie video games in my spare time. I love coming up with weird questions and then finding the answers.
