Hi There,

I am wondering what a healthy work and rest cycle is while in the fast lane. I know different people will be able to function differently along those lines, but I have a tendency to overwork myself to the point of burnout. Should I plan to do this, then just take time off when it happens? What is a good work rest schedule for daily, weekly, monthly etc?

Might the burnout be from not seeing results caused by not being productive or not pursuing things that motivate me? What is a good measure of being productive? If I was truly motivated, would I not struggle with burnout?

Might this be related to overwhelm? How should overwhelm be addressed?

Hopefully someone can help me and others by adding value in the replies.

Thank you
