I have hit burnout several times aready. Sometimes you just have to give yourself a short "vacation" so the batteries can recharge.
Find some geeks that are as crazy about networking as you are. My best motivator is my study partner. We meet every few weeks and talk networking, labs, good Cisco books, issues we have dealt with, the progress of our studies and so on. I come away pumped and ready to hit my lab. I also have a young networker at my workplace that I am mentoring to some extent (just passed CCNA). His enthusiasm is boundless and helps keep me going.

[7:24549] Man O Man. I'm finding it super-tough to stay motivated with all of this super-duper-heavy-geeky CCIE studying that I have to do. How do you guys keep your mind focused and your eyes straight ahead? I find it really easy to answer my phone on a friday night and talk to my buddies, next thing you know i'm at the local pub forgetting my name. I've got soo many books to ready, and soo man labs that I want to do. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't even close to being visable and it's tough. Can anyone help? btw, anyone used any audio tapes/cd's to listen to cisco type stuff during the commute to work? I was thinking about doing something like that but I think hearing my own voice speak would be enough to drive me insane. Any thoughtS?
