At work: Checking in with teammates every day to make sure we're all working within our capacity and feeling good about what we do. We've also scheduled 1:1 check-ins for non-work related conversations with CXOs/ team leads, to make sure we have safe spaces to vent and ask for help.
On a personal front: prioritising work so I don't commit to more than 35 hours a week; making time for personal projects, scheduling therapy sessions (prevention is always better than cure!), and checking in with myself regularly to spot burnout symptoms before they worsen.
