Dealing w/ Burnout

I work in the non-profit world, doing a job that used to be exciting, rewarding, and infinitely more satisfying then being a slave to the corporate world. But it seems that over the last year I have been fighting some feelings that I think are burnout.
It is getting harder and harder to put in the effort I used to and am coming increasingly detached. Productivity is suffering as a result.

I use GTD, I have my lists, I am organized. I know exactly what needs to be done, Its just getting harder and harder to execute.

I have a major promotion to Executive Director level coming in a few months and I want to use my time before it happens to get it all together and find that spark again that I had a couple years ago. Does anyone have any resources/advice? Books ideas? Life hacks? etc?

Thanks!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
