1. Mental exhaustion and burnout Depending on how deep it gets the way to dealing with it changes. I recall when I started my current job that initially I had to do tasks vey similar to what I've had to do before and that made me very nervous initially as the last time I had to do these things I ended up completely bricking myself. This time, the complete exhaustion was so far in the rear-view mirror that I could do these things almost effortlessly. Even though they were so comparatively easy this time, I will acknowledge that I still felt some form of exhaustion nowadays. Perma-exhausted. However, it is not as dire as it once was. In the past, I needed extended sick-leave and even a sabbatical where I went back to school for a semester to study an unrelated field but nowadays when I end up in that headspace I try to guide my thoughts, ideas, and values surrounding productivity to change into something that doesn't dig me into a deeper hole. Personally, I have to focus deeply on the concepts of rise and tide, and accepting that cyclic shifts is all around me in nature so why wouldn't it be inside me as well. While a nature-focused approached is what I have now that might not vibe with your sensibilities so I'll share the original concept that I reappropriated to suit me: it's called "Blast and Dust" and comes from a guy called Dave Tate. I've come across a few interviews and podcasts where he mentions it but this article does an okay enough job of framing the concept: [LINK]

There's a similar calculation (in a slightly different context) in a good scene in the movie Margin Call , about all the miles and hours saved by one bridge: [VIDEO]
