De-prioritize whatever is boring or stressing you out and don't feel guilty about it. It will benefit everyone
- bricss 5y agoI totally agree. Every time I felt burnt-out, I switched my focus on passionate precious things, succeeded with it, and puff, burn-out is gone... entirely

- JohnFen 5y ago> The best antidote to burnout is to do more of what you like. But what do you do when the burnout is so deep that you find no joy in anything, even things that used to excite you?
- WalterSear 5y ago1. Do it anyway, but not a lot. 2. Focus on the fundamentals: health, exercise, sleep. 3. Give yourself permission to not work and also not be doing fun stuff. 4. Expect the process to take way longer than you have either the patience or expectation for it to. 5. Take baby steps towards fun stuff, and ultimately, towards not-fun stuff and work. 6. CBT/ACT based therapy and medication
- JohnFen 5y agoExcellent, thank you. I'm doing 1 & 2. I need to work my way further down that list.
