Discussion on: How do you deal with burn out?

I've experienced this while single-handedly working on my current side project right now. I tune my mindset to say:

1. Have a strong motivation as to why you should complete the project. Set a high goal.
2. It's okay to take a break, but always go back to the project (hence why #1 needs to be very strong.
3. It's okay to take your time. You don't have to achieve your goals at 25 like them people in those Startup articles you just read.
