In my opinion, the suggestions mentioned are great. In particular: 1) starting early or working late, and 2) pick 2 or 3 time slots a week to mark in your calendar just for you (to go out for a run, pick up kids, etc). The important part is that you do not skip these scheduled breaks for the sake of work! While it is hard, most of it is being mentally able to split work and personal life.

Spot on. Blocking dedicated time slots for myself has been a lifesaver—once you start treating personal breaks with the same priority as client meetings, burnout drops significantly.
