You don't have to wait until you're completely drained to give yourself permission to pause. In fact, the best time to take a break is when you still have a little fuel left in the tank.

Identifying the early signs of burnout — like persistent restlessness or a dip in motivation — is key to protecting your long-term mental energy. Whether it’s a 5-minute stretch or stepping away from your screen, regular "recharges" are what keep you sustainable.

Remember: Rest is a requirement, not a reward.
