Good post! I took a small break from serious chess training before a tourney as I was getting mild "chess burnout". One can't grind everyday.

Slowing down is much better than quitting, healthier too

Excellent post and points made...and a great reminder for me that I need to get out my kettlebells and back to that training as well.
