try to live by your handle. That's the only way I have managed to fight with my wife, work 10+hr days, raise 2 kids, and now try start a company with no income in sight :) Not easy but fun is the thing that has propped me up every day like nothing else for the last 2+years.

Ask yourself what your purpose for being there was? Burnout starts coming more when we lose sight of that. You can handle a lot more stress when you’re doing it intentionally and in alignment with your goals than you can when those are out of whack. When you answer that you’ll know which suggestion is your solution

Enjoy it. Or drop responsibilities. Take breaks if it feels like you’re burning out.

Let the low priority stuff go or delegate it out. Prioritize healthy food + sleep + exercise. Get going with a therapist you like *before* you have a meltdown. Have a clear plan for taking time off in the future. Tell friends and collaborators you’re approaching your limit to set expectations and get support.

You’ve got this. One suggestion is when you wake up try 10 mindful deep breaths before you look at your phone

Talk to whoever you report to. This is not sustainable. If they care about you and the work you’re doing then they’ll help figure out how to manage your workload. If not, then it’s probably time to leave.
