Apologies for a long silence. I veered close to burnout and didn't feel like writing much. Holidays helped, even though I only got out into the country overnight (was supposed to be away for two days, but on Monday morning I got a phone call asking about a report that I promised for Tuesday. Back to the desk I went).

I have since talked with two other neuropsychologists working in private practice and it seems that regular holidays are the best antidote to burnout. I marked a week in mid-November for a bit of a break.

Any other suggestions re. burnout busters? I'll be grateful for any advice, apart from exercise, which is against my religion.
