🧠💻 THREE ACTIONS FOR DEV MENTAL HEALTH — WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY (10 OCTOBER)

Shipping code, juggling PRs, context switching… it’s a lot. Today’s a good checkpoint to protect your headspace without killing the vibe.

🔸 ACTION 1 — MICRO-BREAKS WITH BOUNDARIES

▪️ Try 25/5 focus sprints (stand, stretch, water)

▪️ Block notifications during deep work (DND / Focus mode)

▪️ Step away for lunch—no “just one more tab”

🔸 ACTION 2 — TALK IT OUT & PAIR UP

▪️ Pair on gnarly bugs to cut stress + speed learning

▪️ Use a daily “I’m blocked by…” nudge in chat

▪️ Schedule a weekly 1:1 to share wins + worries

🔸 ACTION 3 — DIGITAL HYGIENE

▪️ Mute noisy channels; keep only actionable alerts

▪️ Define an end-of-day shutdown ritual (commit → push → note → close IDE)

▪️ Keep a lightweight “done list” to finish with momentum

If this helps, pass it on. Your future self (and your team) will thank you. 🙌
