After 16 years of work, mostly as a freelance developer for multiple companies, I have a burnout. Fortunately, it's not an "I don't want to work anymore" - last week I had the first day that I just didn't want to work. But it never happened before. So it's like 7/10 on burnoutmetter.

But what is the hardest thing for me is that I'm not able to mobilize myself to work on my projects. I have two good ideas. It's possible that I would be able to monetize these ideas. But I'm not able to move forward. Over the years I tried to work on more than 10 own projects and none of these projects were successful. Should I start work on the 11'th and fail again? I burned out on failings ;)
