Symposium 
Devoting considerable time and effort into your work doesn’t have to lead to burnout. In this presentation, I will discuss my experience heading off burnout. I will cover heuristics I feel have been fundamental to helping me avoid burnout such as practicing gratitude, focusing on controllable factors, giving yourself room to fail, dissociating your goals from how others perceive you, and daily aerobic exercise.
