Sounds like I'm going through a burn-out. I'm in my last academic year at uni, and for the past 6 months I worked almost continuously (with satisfying outcomes). However, what is left is preparing several exams and a couple of courseworks in less than a month, and right now I feel completely depleted. Can you, or somebody else, provide any advice?

Edit: As an invitation to discussion on the margin of the blog post, what happens when this lifecycle puts you in a position like mine? (i.e, the 4th phase occurs when critical responsibilities need to be fulfilled.) Wouldn't this be a problem with this lifecycle?
