A further thought just staggered its way into my mind...

I think for me a lot of not being or getting burned out is attitude. I
now don't get bothered by things that used to drive me nuts.

For example, it used the aggravate the fool out of me when a doctor was
dictating the plan or recommendations and dictated the first sentence or
several sentences and then said, "Two" and continued. I had to stop my
flow of typing, go back and put the number 1 before the first paragraph,
indent it, put the number 2 before the next paragraph, indent it, all
the time mumbling to myself what a jerk he was, wasting my time this
way, etc, etc, etc.

Now I just type noo to invoke the little macro I wrote that goes back
and inserts the number, indents the paragraph, nearly always gaining a
line that I get paid more for, skipping a space, and inserting the
number 2, ready for me to continue typing, almost with no pause.

I get a little thrill each time I see that macro work, make a little
more money, and don't get upset at all.

Okay, so it doesn't take very much to entertain me!
