Burn out... not OT :p

I was just wanting to ask the group how you deal with 'website burnout'.

I have a plate full of domains that each have a script installation that
needs
doing. I am suffering from burnout though.

Any advice for getting over it? :0)

Go do something else for a while.

I try that but with how many domains that need doing
it just brings me down when I face the task again
maybe I should lie to myself and
tell myself I only need to do one or two LOL...

Everybody's battery needs recharging every once in a while.

For some, it is more often than others.

Speaking of myself, I can go on and on and on... like the energizer
bunny, when I'm working on my web sites. However, even I need
recharging during on rare occasions. The only way to do that is to
enjoy my kids and my family. If I spend one day - or sometimes even a
few hours - focusing purely on them and their needs, without ever
thinking about work the whole time, my batteries automatically get
charged up and stay that way for the longest time.

So, the short answer is, go get a life - and do not just something
else, like the other person suggested - go do something that will
recharge you and heal you.

You'll soon get through it.

What might be needed is an alt.webmaster.recovery newsgroup.

I sometimes have the same problem with Bobbing[1]. When I get another
email saying "I can't access my email. What am I doing wrong?" with no
contact information except their email address, I feel like screaming.

1. Try creating a web page just for fun -- even if only on your own
machine. Try new effects. Try seeing how many ways you can
deliberately find to break different browsers.

2. Sew a cushion shaped like a computer -- and stick pins in it.

3. Try creating a web page upside down. (May require the use of a font
editor to create an inverted font.)

4. Do some reverse-spamming. Create a long advertising message telling
people why they should avoid your website and then don't send it to
anybody.

5. Find some really crappy corporate websites and create parodies of them.

The last five left as an exercise for your imagination.

I would send you something but SBTP[2] and SCTP[3] haven't been
implemented yet.
