     @jonobacon Sounds interesting. Important to recognize that burnout is positive, natural process; it's how we move on to other interests.

     @jonobacon Love to read it. Fighting burnout has been probably the number one issue in my working life.

     @evan wow, interesting concept. Not entirely sure I agree, but interesting nonetheless. :-)

     @evan yeah. As soon as you recognize that your mind is refusing to work on something because you're neglecting other things, recovery starts

     @evan @jonobacon: I think there's a line between realizing it's time to move on and actual burnout.

     @evan maybe you should start a #southpaw group to celebrate lefthandedness & commiserate about scissors, cameras & guitars. I'm not eligible

     @nhaines maybe #burnout is the way passionate people get out of projects. Like stopping a bike by jamming your feet into the pavement.

     @evan That's really bad for the knees.... and potentially for the forehead.

     @evan: when I think of it that way, I see what you mean although hopefully there's time after burning out for an orderly transition.
