Burnout was one of the toughest things for me to manage, initially. I eventually found ways of dealing with it and preventing it. Because I now know exactly what burnout feels like, I can anticipate it, and make changes in my work and life habits before it becomes serious. I tend code in a more leisurely way now. Although I used to scoff at the concept, I somehow have got back into the habit of working almost a Monday-Friday schedule. If I do any work at all on the weekends it's the low-stress kind, like research/learning, signing up and testing new web services, reading and writing.
