How can we help prevent burnout? We want to enjoy our roles, to look after our mental health and to excel in our careers. Burnout does not help with any of that. How do you look after yourself and maybe even other people in your life to help prevent burnout?

I asked this on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ministryoftest/status/1194616917451059201) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6600398714945196032/). We had lots of interesting answers and even mention of Ali Hill’s talk [Don’t be a Superhero](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/series/it-s-ok-testbash-talks-mental-health/lessons/don-t-be-a-superhero-ali-hil). What are you thoughts on it?
