I find swearing in short loud bursts and chain smoking generally helps.
what do you do when you get burned out?

Find a Copier you really hate, that belongs to a Customer you really hate, and give them the personal cell phone number of a salesperson you really hate, and say "we are giving away a very limited number of trade-ins this month..."
...then spend the next week avoiding the office and screening your calls.
Yes, I really did.
Salesperson quit - still stuck with the customer, but they requested I not come back.
I feel much better now.73 DE W5SSJComment

Did something else for a few years
I felt like that a few years ago.
I quit the job, and travelled and worked around the world for about 4-5 years. Then I took a job in Norway again, and after about two years I had to quit. I felt absolutely burned out. I didn't have any energy at all - and I hated every day at work. I took a few extra years of education and became a teacher.
I started as a tech again at a good company. Good colleagues and so on.
I have become more organized and is almost always prepared.
I spend all the time in the car listening to audio books, and before I know it's time to go home. In average I have time to listen to 3-6 books a week. I feel like I spend the time with things that interest me. I still take a few classes at the university, and will probably continue with that. I believe that I get bored when I stop to learn new things.
I have also stopped to stress at work. Things take the time it takes.
And I still manage more jobs each day than I did before...
In the future I'd like to teach for a day, and work as a tech the rest of the week.Comment
