How do you defeat burnout?

Usually crash. Sometimes that's the only way to get that old reset button going.

I try to do things that stress me less and go back to my routine when I feel better.

I just get into something else and after a few days it all comes back around. Usually.

I would take a break, do something fun and think why I want to do it in the first place.

When you have time off do something you like to relax.

I guess creative people gets burnout quickly because most of the jobs have some sort of repetition in it. They need to retrain their brain a lot to fit into the task then. The training, I guess, varies a little from person to person because everyone's a bit different. My job demands taking great deal of cognitive loads sometimes, but it has some creative freedom as well.

I like Kayla's response. Sometimes you have to crash and burn before resetting. Usually for me, I just check out for a while and do nothing be veg. Sometimes I will take a trip, as being out in nature always seems to do the trick for me. A nice weekend camping trip, or a good day at the beach helps me feel better. And if those aren't options, sometimes a good long run or a walk will help clear my mind and help me refocus.
