Nice one, Sutharshana! These are some solid tips for staying motivated in IT. Setting clear goals and breaking tasks into milestones is such a game-changer for maintaining focus. I also love the idea of automating repetitive tasks  it really helps in maximizing productivity while reducing the stress of menial tasks. For me, staying engaged with the tech community and constantly learning new things keeps the excitement alive. How do you make sure to avoid burnout during intense work sessions?

Thanks for the kind words! Totally agree—engaging with the tech community and continuous learning are huge motivators.

To avoid burnout during intense work sessions, I schedule short breaks every hour to stretch or step away from the screen. Setting clear, achievable daily goals helps me stay focused without feeling overwhelmed. I also make time for non-tech activities after work, like a quick walk or reading, to recharge.
