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.
