My personal test for preventing another burnout:

    Can I do this forever? (Y/N)

    If you answered N, stop making excuses, realize you deserve positive changes 
    in your own life, and do it.

This. The keyword is: S-U-S-T-A-I-N-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y.

Sigh - easier said than done.

Hard decisions are difficult things to do with a stress-shot mind. Particularly when it's so easily framed as "admitting defeat"

That's a great, simple test.
