I left a job where I was totally burned out in June. I traveled the country from June - September. After I got back, I tried working on my personal projects full time and quickly learned I was still burned out. Looking for a job made the same point even clearer. I'm currently working as seasonal help at UPS. I don't need the money, but it's really nice to have a job where I have tangible successes and any effort I put into it is paid back out immediately. I'm absolutely wiped when I get home, but since I've started that job I've found that it's much easier to work on my personal projects. I think I just needed something else to concentrate on, and I needed some obvious successes in my life.
