I&#x27;ve been delving into burnout for the past years. If I can get into flow, I&#x27;m fantastic and do very well. But getting there is increasingly more difficult. I&#x27;ve given up many contracts and work, only keeping a few clients. But just having anything, even if it&#x27;s 1 day a week, it seems to keep you &quot;involved&quot; mentally and you&#x27;re not really free, even if most of the time you&#x27;re not doing anything. The sick part is that to really pull out, I need to work a lot more, to set things up to take a year off. So it creates this spiral that seems rather hard to break out of.
