Regular exercise. Make your priority be health not work. Fit everything around that. Every day the goal is to get an hour of exercise in and hopefully some work. In my case the work actually improves. Family and kids makes this more challenging but with clear communication and scheduling my partner and I can both make it work... with the odd chaotic off-cycle. |

Ideally try to combine exercise with something you enjoy, so that exercise is the side effect. Then it becomes effortless and something to look forward to.
As an over-worker, but also someone who enjoys their job, I still find it important to make room for these other things in life (physical activities, adventure, music, art, whatever)... they give you perspective and balance in life, and without them work can start to feel overwhelming. Small details start feeling more important than they really are - and I think this is where that feeling of exhaustion can come from, because even though you might be making good progress and delivering value, it stops feeling like it without that perspective.
