&quot;I didn&#x27;t give myself a break after final university year&quot;<p>Ok...<p>Stop drinking, exercise, and have an activity out side of work (that isn&#x27;t drinking or eating).<p>That outside activity is important. Take some classes, join a club&#x2F;meetup group, go to church, find a hobby sport.<p>The trick to not burning out is to have other outlets, where you do things you enjoy. Your going to realize when work is getting &quot;bad&quot; because you skipping out on the outside activity (don&#x27;t do this), or your looking forward to it so much your not working.<p>When this happens you know to &quot;slow down&quot; and plan some more personal time to balance things out take a weekend out of town, a vacation, change jobs etc.
