I am 10 years younger than you and had my share of burnouts. I think you have a good tip there: stop doing stuff you don’t enjoy. But I would add another suggestion: do stuff you do enjoy. It’s really important. Burnout leads to life without joy. Joy prevents burnouts as it helps to keep balance between work life and life outside work.

Also strangely enough, for me starting freelancing has helped a lot. I have a feeling that if I get “ stop, I don’t like this!” thoughts, I can just leave the project. I have never done it yet but that is a possibility and I have saved some money so that it is a true alternative. Also now that I am not employed at some startup/big company anymore, I don’t need to think career or continue at work place I don’t enjoy because of stocks/options. Moneywise not a best solution but it has made my life better and I don’t have burnouts anymore.

Most important thing for me is my business, and most important thing for my business is my happiness and well-being because without me my business doesn’t survive.
