I guess I'm just tired of it all, sponsors that don't pay, sponsors that shave your balls, hosting companies that are useless, maintaining hundreds of affiliate sites, the tubes of course (who can forget them?) ruining ratios, search engines constantly working on their roller coaster algos. I worked damn hard last year and traffic has actually gone up across the board.
Anyone else in / have been in this scenario? I have too much invested in my network of sites to just quit, I don't really want to sell the lot either.
Burn out from doing the same thing day in day out for 8 years? Time for a month's holiday? What has anyone else done who has been in this position to beat the blues?

Hey mate, I'm there right now. I work 16 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week, for four years now. So what I do is I 'schedule' Me Time; I go out at 6 for an hour, have a pint or smoke a doob, chill and remember there's an actual WORLD out there that doesn't come through to me via a computer screen.
Scheduling it helps - makes me feel less guilty. When the Me Time is up then it's "time to get back to work", usually refreshed.
And hey, did you want to talk to me via Yahoo? Got an email like that a few days ago and was confused. I'm on ICQ or, if it's important, I could go Yahoo. Let me know.
PS - going to see a comedy show and laughing yer arse off is a great way to help burnt out.
