It’s Wiki Wednesday! Once a month we highlight a helpful post from the Wiki with tips about productivity, wellness, and optimizing your use of Habitica!

Burnout is a serious problem when it comes to productivity. That feeling that you just don’t care whether you’ve done everything on your to do list — in fact, everything is just way too exhausting. It can be a problem for Habiticans too, whether it’s because your dailies have become overwhelming or because you can’t seem to use it to motivate yourself anymore. This month’s highlighted Wiki article has some tips about how to deal with burnout in a healthy way, with tips for all kinds of burnout. Here’s an excerpt:
