I recommend two articles to any activist, especially if
not familiar with burnout.

Dave Roberts wrote for Grist Magazine and took a whole
year off to recover from burnout.

A short description in an interview of Roberts:

A long (and funny) description by Roberts himself:

After reading the outsideonline article, I wonder if it
would be better to snail mail paper copies.  Ah, well ...

Here's a related item, (at least I think it's related),
an item about stress and productivity:
