Ask HN: How to Disconnect from Work
15 by patrick-bk | 7 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, I'm a developer and I struggle to "get a life". My job is my passion. And this is the problem. I spend my weekend thinking about bugs I have to solve and most of the time trying to learn a new language/framework. Sometimes It just doesn't feel right especially when you hear some colleagues talking about their weekend in the mountains or just hanging out with their friends. While it's satisfying to be up-to-date and having a certain level of expertise, I really feel that I'm not enjoying life but instead just working all the time. Question : Did anyone have that issue ? How did you manage to disconnect from work and forget about it during free time ?
