So, what is personal ecology? As <a href="https://rockwoodleadership.org/nonprofit-four-day-workweek-can-take-care-still-change-world/#:~:text=personal%20ecology%3A%20maintaining%20balance%2C%20pacing%20and%20efficiency%20to%20sustain%20your%20energy%20over%20a%20lifetime%20of%20activism">described by the Rockwood Leadership Institute</a>, it involves "<strong>maintaining balance, pacing, and efficiency to sustain our energy over a lifetime</strong>." This framed our conversations, helping maintainers recognize their actions and contributions as parts of a larger ecosystem that evolves over time. Burnout, a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress as [defined by the WHO](https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http://id.who.int/icd/entity/129180281), is not uncommon among maintainers. This often leads to a loss of motivation, an inability to focus, and a lack of empathy for the contributors and community you work with.
