December 3, 2016 — This is slightly different talk than most of WordCamp talks, but I believe it’s equally important.

With WordPress scene becoming more and more competitive, the stress factor on WordPress professionals is higher than ever. At the same time we need to take care of our families and friends which is equally important. The pressure mounts up and it often leads to emotional and physical problems. I’ve experienced it first hand and after several months of dealing with a burnout I started being very proactive about it.

In this talk I would like to share my experiences related to:
– what leads to burnouts and other problems
– how to deal with it
– how to avoid it
– how to balance work and family life

This is a topic very few people talk about. But a lot of people deal with. Hopefully my talk will help someone.
