Brake-Indicators!

The car in front brakes and I brake too to avoid collision. We know when to brake our car, like stopping at the red traffic light, at a stop sign, or the traffic flow is slowing down. How about in life, do we know when to brake? Being aware and knowing the signal to take “brakes” in our life is not as straightforward as driving a car and adhering to traffic rules.
I live and work in the same place. As a home-keeper with cooking responsibilities, a care-giver, and a novice venturing into affiliate marketing, the tasks-to-do are endless. And there is no time schedule to follow. Unlike a 9-to-5 job where office hours and work location are clear-cut, boundaries become fuzzy. Sometimes I would feel like I am on a 24/7 standby mode.
Perhaps I am a workaholic or maybe I have poor time management skills. I fail to see indicators like the red traffic light to decelerate. Instead I use physical tiredness to slow down my work flow. It seem neither an efficient nor effective 'brake-signal'. I ponder … …. And I wonder what is your brake-indicators to avoid burnout?
