Takeaway: Stress, exhaustion, health problems, poor job performance,
apathy — all these can be yours if you commit a few career sins and get
burned out.

I’d be willing to bet that there isn’t one of you out there who hasn’t
violated some basic work/life principles at least once in your career. I
can say with certainty that at various times, I have committed some
cardinal sins when it comes to getting burned out. Looking back on my
career from a slightly different viewpoint these days, I can see where I
went wrong. And fortunately, I can learn from those mistakes so that
I’ll remain happy, healthy, and productive (in that order) throughout
the remainder of my career. Here are 10 things you might be doing that
will ultimately lead to poorer performance and an unhealthy lifestyle.
