I have "skills" so people are always asking me to fix something for them.
......... I don't mind so much but I really don't appreciate being called during work hours about freebies.
As far as being burnt out. Why not just do what you like doing for a while and just be polite and say NO. I've done that and it worked out OK.
Or just don't be so accommodating. It's your life so do what you want to do and nothing more.
The thing is my ex wife once tried to use it against me. After our divorce... She was complaining about money and how much it cost to get her car serviced.
She was trying to squeeze more money out of me. I just sat on the end of the phone in silence.
Then she pikes up and says. "It's easy for you, you do your own work and that's not fair".
