Dealing with burnout

[The Idler]

I have some political plans (writings etc.) but I'm feeling burned out. Any tips for getting past this? Any words of advice?

Feeling overwhelmed or unexcited about a project, or are you feeling more generally uninspired/disinterested. I think the first situation can be overcome through continuing to work on something, finding the aspect of it that will excite you. Short breaks, or working on something different could also help.

For the second, probably something bigger, take a road trip, do something totally different, read a bunch of fiction or something... Clear your head.

Burn something else and listen to some nice music while reading literature or watch a calm movie.

If you're up for music reccomendations, I'd like to suggest these:

Lay your head off it for a minute :)

Don't make revolution a chore, see it as an expressive part of your life. Enjoy yourself, don't measure your worth in capitalist notions of productivity and sacrifice. A revolutionary spirit ultimately grows from a heart that loves life.

Focus on havin some fun for a bit, have some great sex, smoke some bud, whatever you're into. My political involvement is done with joy, as an expression of my desire for freedom and my great respect for my fellow man. Revolution is not self-sacrifice, but self-affirmation.

Remember that tea-partiers don't get tired of spewing their stupid bullshit.

Throw a brick through a Starbucks window to revitalize your revolutionary fervor.

Isn't taking a break always the best way of dealing with burnout?
