Burnout hit me like a truck. The charts blurred, decisions felt impossible, and the thrill was gone. 😫 Stepping away to recharge my batteries. Anyone else battle burnout? How'd you cope? Looking for tips on staying sane in this crazy industry and coming back sharper than ever.

It happens. Probably to everyone sooner or later. What I learned to do over the years, after much trial and error I guess I could say, is to make a conscious effort to pace myself. When I feel like I'm getting close to the line where I'm going to start losing it I try to cut back a little. But it's always kind of a losing battle, you can only go so long without feeling like you're in quicksand.

Honestly in my experience once you’ve had that realization there’s no going back. Vacation, moving clients, etc. is just a bandaid.
