Linkys, beware of burnout.
Doug and Chris were on holiday this week, clearly they were inspired by discussions on the Linky Brains London Whatsapp group on the importance of not burning out. Here are some wise words from Suki Fuller from the Whatsapp group:
“1. As Linkys, we have a high propensity to burnout.
2. So when you feel the need to step back. Step back.
3. Don’t burnout because you want to participate as a Linky Brain.”
