It is really hard, knowing you HAVE to work and you need

xxx lines, but it gets harder every day to get them. I try to make a game out of it. Work 2 hours and then myself a break to do whatever I want to do, clean the house, read, or work in my garden. I've also found that getting up early and staying up late works best for me as the rest of my family is in bed and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything when I'm working. If you are working 7 days a week STOP or go to every other weekend. Take a day off and rejunivate yourself. Work extra one day and then you can afford a slack day, this is provided the work load will allow you to do this.

I go through a serious burnout at least every other year. I think part of it is the production mentality of this business, being isolated to some degree if you work at home, and very little if any encouragement/support from your company.
