Discussion on: How do you deal with extreme burnout?

For me the important part is to prevent it. I've never been able to overcome it, once I reach the burnout it always results on switching jobs.

1. Don't be always working. 8h/day is enough. No overtime and no slack, email or github on my cell phone.
2. Only spend time on side proyects when I have the strength to do so.
3. Have fun and spend time with my loved ones.
4. Get my health checked (bot body and mind)
5. Last but not least, at work dare to challenge the things that burn me. Many can be changed.
