A personal account of severe professional burnout experienced over several years by an embedded systems engineer and educator. The author describes a total mental and physical collapse in March 2024, failed attempts to return to work without addressing root causes, and an eventual pivot to farming as a way to recover. Now returning to engineering work seasonally, the author reflects on the need to fundamentally change work habits and plans to explore what sustainable, peaceful work looks like in future posts.
