In my experience, the amount of control you have over the time you spend working is a critical factor. If you can easily adjust your work hours down, at any time, then it isn't as bad. So try to avoid making hard commitments that require lots of work and you'll probably have fewer issues.

Interesting you say that. I am able to set my own hours most of the time ( I work a lot but by choice). Maybe that is why I have avoided being burned out and work is still fun.
