Burnout usually isn’t from working too hard. It’s from working on everything at once because you never defined where you’re going. Pick the destination and work backwards. Then build the process and people that run the daily so you can build what’s next.

Your business is rolling along, but you're afraid if you step away and take your eye off the ball, everything will come crumbling down. Let me tell you how to prevent that. The first thing that you need to do is understand where you're going. Burnout is often a product of not knowing where you're going and working on all the wrong things. When you know where you're going, you can work backwards to create a plan that will enable you to be working on the right things at the right time as opposed to working on everything at the same time. The other piece of that is bringing on people and inserting process into the organization so that it, the process and the people, can carry on the daily functions of the business so that you can continue to work on those things that you know are going to ultimately grow the business down the line. You've got to have these three things in place in order to eliminate that fear of everything falling apart. If you've got great process, you've brought on good people, trained them on the process, and you feel confident that they can run it, and then overarching you have a place that you want to take the business. All of those things culminate in a business that can run efficiently and keep you from burning out.
