How do you recover from corporate burnout?

I’ve been working different jobs for over 20 years and I’m tired.

Been at my current job for 6 years.

I used to excited about my job and profession but not really feeling it anymore but it pays well.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out’

Yes please! Steelhart was great. I grew up reading comic books so it was right up my alley

Omg

Practicing creating videos. Still not great at it but gotta keep practicing. 🫰

Haven’t read a fiction book in a while, but I stumbled upon Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson in the library the other day and read the whole trilogy in a week.
Felt good to read again.
Trying to get the kids into reading instead of always staring at their iPads so we visit the library a lot.

Just sent this to my best friend, because… why not? 🫶

Damn. Impressive! Well done!

Designers, help me out here please.

I work with Figma every day at work. Privately I also use it for design work, but I'm considering switching back to Sketch or even Penpot to save some money.

Is it worth it? Every resource online is in Figma, so it would be a bit of a pain to switch.

I've found a way to create animated mockups using Midjourney, RunwayML and after effects.

I used to create them by hand in Cinema 4D and AE, but it took forever. This process is 10x faster.

👌

man, great work! Looks fantastic. Is the stop motion made in 3D or by hand?

can you do the Konami code on it?

I'm restoring mentally this weekend by working on my side project. It sounds like work, but I really enjoy it.
I'm a designer, not a developer, but using AI I can finally build all the ideas I have.

It's so much fun.

I remade the navigation to expand on hover instead of being visible all the time to maximise the content area.
I also added a logomark in the top.

It's incredible how much you can get done if you stop doomscrolling and just do the thing you have to do.

I’ve had the same kindle for the last 14 years. Never once updated it. Still works fine and I use it all the time. Reading this I’m glad I never bought a new one.

I’ve started working on the brand and website of my project. I'm not sure what astronauts have to do with social media, but I came across this astronaut asset on @ui8 and played around with it.

Looks fun, but maybe a bit off?

Im building a social media content planner tool using ai.

I started working on the inspiration page, where you can save inspiration from across social media platforms and repurpose it later.

It's trickier than I thought it would be, but it's coming along.

Lessons of Design The musings of a designer on why he designs the way he does and what he’s learned along the journey.

Choose consistency over intensity.

Consistency compounds.

Consistency makes things last.

I struggle a lot with consistency, also in design, but I'm trying.

Love the library. I try to go together with the kids once a week or so and we always spend a few hours there. They read a few books and I read the paper and drink coffee and find a book or two for myself. Quality time

The way home always took forever. By the time you got home you had the manual memorized
