Burnout doesn't always show up during the busy season — sometimes it shows up when things are going well.
No overload. No heavy travel. No client chaos. Just more free time than usual, and still the fog, the fatigue, and the falling off track crept in.
The real problem? When the workload lightens up, your sleep routine often goes with it. Six to eight weeks of that, and your immune system, energy, and focus all follow.
The lesson isn't "grind less" — that part's already true. It's that the habits holding everything together don't get to be optional just because life feels easier.
