Don’t Burn Your Web Designer Out!

Posted by John Saddington on Mar 6, 2010

Most of us are pretty used to working on the weekends. In fact, most of us probably see Saturday and Sunday as opportunities to “catch up.”

I think ministries and churches can too easily take advantage of our good nature and have us work on the weekends. In fact, it can be even harder since a lot of us work on Sunday as part of the ministry!

What are you doing to promote “no burnout” in your web designers?

What are you doing as a designer to stay from the burn out?

    This is really good.

    EVERY senior leader, manager, whatchamacallit in the church needs to read this!

    I think that it is a 2-way street this; so often the web designer is engrossed in so many other activities – personal, work, church and the desire (need?) to try new things.
    Me is no web Designer but I can quite easily spend all night trying to figure out something on my own blog.

    To avoid burnout:

    1. Love what you do.
    2. Find a second thing that you also love to do.
    3. Spend just a little more time doing the second thing that you think you should.

    Oddly enough, that’s also my formula for success, relieving stress, and losing weight. Go figure. :)
