    When you feel the burnout building up, you really should not try to stick it out “just until this project is done and I can get some rest”…

      Would you mind elaborating on this? I just recently have been struggling with massive burnout at my job, amplified by being stuck on the same project by myself for 1 year+, team being understaffed, and inconsistent expectations from stakeholders.

        More work is never the answer to burnout. If you are burnt out, it won’t get better. Even if something happens to change the current situation, it wouldn’t feel as good when you are burnt out.
