Paul I like your comments and you made me laugh when I reached the end. As I alluded to in my post, even when we know how to prevent burnout there is no guarantee we will remember to avoid it unless we experience it often enough to not forget how miserable it can make us.

I was suffering with a sore back and took some pain-killers to alleviate it.

By Thursday I realised I had not achieved anything. As a matter of fact I was unable to make decisions. Partly because of the side effect of the pain-killers, but mostly from the burnout of trying to achieve too much for too long without celebrating my wins.

Funny, though I’m posting this comment from another city, where I am spending my weekend working.

Sorry to hear that you have been in burnout. A good reminder about self care.

I hope that you are feeling better soon.
