I workout. Health is important.

100% this.

I luckily dodged a burnout just in time. Symptoms were insomnia, thinking I wasn’t good enough and bursts of anger.

My problem was thinking about work and getting better at my craft all the time. I didn’t take time for myself, didn’t exercise and had a bad diet.

But it’s hard to convince someone to take care of themselves. Sometimes you have to hit the ground.
