What are some of the things that you do that help you with burnout?
The key aim is to reduce demands and expectations placed upon yourself.
I try to focus on my interests and block everything else out as much as possible.
If I need to do something I try to set aside plenty of time, knowing in advance that my brain is not functioning as normal.
Doing only one thing at a time is very important if you're burnt out, as any attempt at multitasking will make things worse.
Most importantly try and identify the cause and try to do something about it, if it is something you are able to control.
Some of what I posted on here recently might also be helpful:
