> work enthusiasm and burn out
If you are enthusiastic there is one more thing that might burn out. I am usually quite enthusiastic when at a new job, but as soon as I start to despise the process or are forced to do a half assed job it the enthusiasm fades.
It got way less stressful for me when I stopped to care that much about the end result and worked less hard (I never worked overtime, I mean per hour) since I figured that I did not have the authority anyway to change most stuff. I guess that is some form of burn out of spirit.
In the beginning of my career I though I was way better then my colleges, but I realized that they had mostly just "burned out" before me and did the bare minimum.

I guess that is some form of burn out of spirit. I spent my early career doing stuff way too fast and thoroughly. After the fifth time a spec changed midway and invalidated most of my work I slowed down to the proper level and started getting praise for being so fast =)
