I don't get burn out from work in the way some people describe. I never get stressed out about deadlines or expectations or pressure from management.

I do my work during my work hours, and if I don't get it done I don't get it done. If work expects more from me, oh well. So far in 20 years I haven't been fired for it.

There have been a few times where I had trouble getting motivation because it felt like my work wasn't important or mattered, but that just made me slow, not burnt out.
