I'm not a REAL big proponent of any method for avoiding burnout besides the ones you hear chalked up under 'Self Care'.

But, I do know that it robs you of something once you're in it. If you an avoid it, probably a good idea.

It sucks losing the things you love.

Burn out can turn you against something you love.

I also worked in TV and Film for years, because growing up I loved TV and Film.

I also became burned out working in the industry.

Now, I don't really watch TV or Films anymore. Slowly after 10 years, my appreciation returned.

The aftermath of that burn out was I lost all my appreciation for the #podcast format. I just ended up uninterested in them across the board. To this day, I don't really listen to podcasts.

Dude, same. Electric blankets are dangerous in the am.

Same comment applies.

It does seem odd an administration as conscious of media performance as this one seems to be would let the #POTUS continue to stumble into bad outcomes.

It is shameful that in a country of our size, wealth, and positioning, this individual is the best we could find to lead the nation.

It is frustrating how little effort the press puts into holding a very compromised President accountable.

It was fairly odd that the cycle just moved on to the next disaster, because Trump gives you 30 shit storms a week.

Apparently, they are content to out themselves.

The faster we admit it’s the Xmas season, the faster this shit show of a year will be over.
