Burnout vs Letting Things Burn

Some days, works feel very unrewarding. Recently it felt this way to me, and even more when I felt that I was being stonewalled in my progress as well as my effort doesn’t feel appreciated. It is bad enough that the work is unrewarding, it is even worse when you feel the people involved are being adversarial.

Nevertheless, the work needs to get done. But, but, but… then the work is not ‘good enough’. Should I just let things go downhill. I always think that caring about my work is a form of pride, but today I think some things are not worth the worry. It is not letting the work burn to ashes, but just not to care too much that it causes it to burn myself instead.

I am not making sense much here but what I am saying is having enough space to be able to be proud of my work, but also to be able to detach from it. Just like using fire, where there is no enough space to work with it.
