Only answer is: Take it easier. Burnout is no joke. If you're already burnt out, you might need months or more to relax enough to get some passion back.

Hm. I have one vacation day left after being sick. Won't get more until next week. Work 10 hour days 4 days a week and the too exhausted to relax most of the remaining 3.

What if... Hear me out... What if I were to be, idk, run over by a bus and hospitalized for a month? /s

You paying my bills?

I understand the difficulty, but let's put it this way. If you truly are moving towards burnout, either you'll figure out a way to take it easier or eventually your own brain will make you.

Yeah, I had to learn the hard way that I needed to enforce boundaries like a strict bedtime and one day a week where I do absolutely nothing productive (even socialize) or my body/brain would enforce those boundaries at a time of their choosing instead of mine. I'd rather do nothing on Sundays with little consequence than have a mental breakdown on a Tuesday that lasts days and suffer bigger consequences.

It starts with working within the contract. If it says you have with hours until 17h, stop at 17h. Whatever happens at work after that is not your problem. Most people don't have shares so it doesn't matter personally. Overtime earns some cash but in my case has a lot of tax, and costs you more in mental health in the long term.

But that's me.
