How Do You Manage the Search Grind Without Burning Out?

The search process isn’t a one-day push. It’s a long journey with months of outreach, calls, CRM updates, follow-ups, deal reviews, and more. And somewhere in the middle of all this, almost every searcher hits the same point… A mix of fatigue, slow progress, and “I thought I’d be further ahead by now.” So I’m curious to learn from people here. How do you manage the balance between staying consistent and avoiding burnout? Do you: • Set fixed work hours? • Batch outreach and admin work? • Take planned breaks? • Delegate parts of the process? • Or simply push through and hope for momentum? Everyone handles this differently, and it would be great for new searchers to learn from those further along. What’s one thing that genuinely helps you stay consistent without burning out? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
