Ten Ways to Defeat Brain Drain

Those of us who are busy all the time can experience burnout, exhaustion, and fatigue from spending long periods of time in focused concentration. I call this syndrome "Brain Drain."

Brain drain, if gone unchecked, can result in depression, stress, and even anger if you push after the drain has set in.
