I've been delving into burnout for the past years. If I can get into flow, I'm fantastic and do very well. But getting there is increasingly more difficult. I've given up many contracts and work, only keeping a few clients. But just having anything, even if it's 1 day a week, it seems to keep you "involved" mentally and you're not really free, even if most of the time you're not doing anything. The sick part is that to really pull out, I need to work a lot more, to set things up to take a year off. So it creates this spiral that seems rather hard to break out of.
