My coping mechanism is finding something new to learn, but that certainly doesn't work for everyone.

My coping mechanism is finding something new to learn, but that certainly doesn't work for everyone. Some other ideas: - Spend your free time (and take some extra time off) to do something new non-computer related: gardening, mountainbiking, climbing, etc. Sometimes, computers are just work (until you have more inspiration), which is ok - it pays the bills, find the challenge somewhere else. - Try some vipassana meditation classes. It can be really insightful to see how the mind works. - Take a year off, travel the world (relax a little before a real burn out hits you). - (If applicable) Start a family :). We have a 1.5 year-old daughter, it's great to just watch her play, going for a walk in mountains with her, etc.
