Burnout Cycle

[dknise]

It's that time again. Yesterday and today I have done virtually nothing to promote the forward projection of my business. I've gone to the gym extra, meditated, and trolled the internetz trying to find my focus again but it's not there. Saturday and Sunday I took a break to work on a side project where I could learn a few things, another tell tale sign of one of my burnouts. I slept 11 hours last night for no particular reason and began contemplating life's deeper meaning with the lights off in the shower. If you offered me a million dollars to start a WordPress blog for you, I'd probably fail right now.

I still have no idea what I do to get out of my burnouts, but it sometimes takes as long as a week. I googled for it and I'm already doing everything that was on the list written by a blogger who's probably just as clueless as I am but is attempting to sound like an expert.

What are your burnouts and how do you deal with them?
