Burn-out often comes when you have lost control of your environment. I've been through stages where I've had to sit down, take myself by the shoulders and re-work everything. That means strategizing and talking with my co-workers about how I can deal with the workload I have, the pressure I feel. More often than not I find that I've been overwhelming myself with an excessive will-to-succeed. I keep getting caught up with this kind of personal stress so I've come to understand that it's just who I am, but now have tools to deal with it better. That doesn't just include making strategic planning (which is about 90% of resolving the issue) but also taking at least one week holiday in a location strictly without internet and any communication back to work.
