great advice Wendi! I find it’s important to be a multi-tracked person, just switch when you get stressed..

Hi Wendi,

Years ago I got burn out after working so many hours I lost track of my personal life. I finally got the nerve to quit. The money was fantastic but I realized there was more to life than a big paycheck. It took me a long to to recover from that. But it did teach me what not to do.

I love your quote: “You aren’t going to reach the stars if you can’t get off the ground first.”. That is so true. WE come first.

This is especially useful for freelancers, at least for me. I suffered from burnout a couple of months ago and it was not pretty. But luckily I was able to recover, dust myself off and get back to work — with a better life balance of course Thanks for the reminder to take time out and do what needs doing — taking care of ourselves.

I’m allergic, so I don’t ever get to ride the pony.

Good tips about burnout. I have been there many times. So many, in fact, that I’ve been considering building myself a little log cabin here in Burnoutland. The view isn’t so bad…
