Default Burnt Out

Been working crazy hours for the last 9 months or so. From 60-70 hours a week for the first 3 months, to about 4 months of 50 hour weeks, then another 2 and counting of 60+ hour weeks.

I was fine until last week, when I've really begun to feel lethargic all the time.

My job isn't physical, it's purely mental, but I need my brain in tip-top shape to do it and lately i've been feeling like a drone. Losing my weekends for the last couple months isn't helping.

I need to keep this pace for another 3 months or so and then perhaps I'll be able to take a 5 day vacation.

I don't have time in the day to eat real well, and get about 1 home-cooked meal a week. It's just not in the cards if this project is to succeed...

Anyone else in a similar situation? Anyone have any serious tips about how to get some more energy?

And don't say speed
