I find this really helps not to get burned out: - limit your work hours to something reasonable during the day, no excuses. Everyone has a different capacity.

I find this really helps not to get burned out: - limit your work hours to something reasonable during the day, no excuses. Everyone has a different capacity. No point over exerting now, you are just borrowing from the future self. - use pomodoro to take frequent breaks - don’t work for bad managers, they are the leading cause of stress - do meaningful things. If not now, strive towards that at least. Make effort to get there. Because often if your mind thinks you are locked into this position seemingly forever, it will start hurting you. - exercise daily. Anything. Just walking for thirty minutes to an hour is good enough. This is crucial!
