“Usually by taking some time for myself and stepping away from stuff. That’s usually the best way to go about it, because if you can’t recover any time and you do things you love, then how are you going to do it? … Sometimes you really just need to step away before it gets bad.”
Gregory Steinke, SE Campus
“As far as burnout, not only pushing through it is important but finding the reason to push through it. Then adding in the proper rest, which the proper rest for mental activity is physical activity. So, the right physical activity in the sun, reminding yourself of why you’re doing what you’re doing helps to push through the burnout.”
Lindsay Dorton, TR Campus
“So I just remember my ‘Why’. I kind of like remembering your why, and just it’s a privilege to get up every single day. And I tell myself every morning, like ‘yes I’m tired, but I’m grateful and I have things to accomplish, and the closer I am to those achievements has to be like struggle,’ burnout with jobs, college, all those sorts of things. Achievements require struggle.”
Lucas Fuentes, NE Campus
“A lot of times, whenever I do feel like that [burnt out] it’s because I’ve isolated myself, and so if I realize that, I’ll go out and spend a day with some friends or treat myself to something. Sometimes it’s the opposite, and I’ve been out too much. I’ll sit inside, listen to music, maybe read a bit.”
Jenaro Vedia, TR Campus
“I usually like to turn on calming music and just lay down in bed. Other than that, I like going and playing pool with friends. If I’m tired of being outside, I just go home and watch TV shows, movies, stuff like that. I feel like there’s no real way to deal with burnout except resting your body. So I try to get long hours of sleep when I know I’m burned out that night.”
