Staying driven is great, but sometimes that edge turns into exhaustion without warning. What helps you stay motivated while keeping burnout at a distance? Do you set checkpoints or trust your instincts?

I focus on balance and small, consistent goals. Scheduling breaks, celebrating minor wins, and separating work from personal time helps me maintain energy. Staying connected to why I’m doing something, rather than just what I have to do, keeps motivation sustainable.

Normally, I try to work only on the tasks that I enjoy working or I am passionate about. When I work on something I enjoy, I never experience burn outs. However, sometimes I also have to work on something I might not enjoy, and in a situation like this, I take enough time to attempt it.
