I personally don't manage it well. I've learned to enjoy it probably to my detriment.
@santos gave a great talk at Startup Day a year or two ago where he recommends taking a 4-day weekend when you begin to feel yourself losing agency:
Burnout is the ultimate agency-killer. This is so true that I’ve learned to identify a reduction in agency as one of the first signs of burnout, one that shows up even before I consciously realize what’s happening. A switch flips and I start looking for ways to rule out ideas and actions, to conclude they won’t work or aren’t necessary, rather than chasing better versions.
A 4-day weekend won't be a bad idea. (but I'll still work anyway)
I guess it is to go hard or go harder till the wheels fall off

😅🤣🤣 Funnily enough that's me currently with working out: 2× a day, every day, full throttle for 1 - 2 hours per session...

Maybe go offgrid and leave the computer at home, removing the option to work.
