Burn out, refresh

[Eggdogg]

So i finished the wheel of time right when the lock down started here (mid march). Moved right into stormlight, then mistborn era 1, then elantris, then anything non spoiler in arcanum. I started warbreaker, really enjoying it but around 300ish pages i just stopped. Havent read anything for about a week. Maybe time to read some non brandon stuff? 

Do yall ever get burnt? What do you do to refresh?

Usually when I get burnt out I just read Sanderson....

Yeah, I know the feeling well. When I need a break I usually work on one of my hobbies for a while, or just download an audiobook or some podcasts.

I find that I do things in cycles. I can be very into a book series and read a ton one week, and then I won’t touch a book. Same with games: I will play the heck out of something, just to put it down and not touch it for six months.

When I burn out, I tend to get my life together and clean up my room, actually leave the house and buy whatever it is that's been accumulating on my to-buy list.  It doesn't happen very often, though.

This sounds dangerous.

True, very true.  But sometimes, you can't trust others to buy the right conditioner.
