Also I write better when I'm doing other things - I think it's partly the pressure that it imposes. I seem to have the kind of mind that will procrastinate if it's given endless time to do the allotted task.
I can't write for more than about 3-4 hours a day even if I have no other work. I agree with you about burn-out. I think we all have a kind of inner word limit, in rather the same way that our hair will only grow to a certain length. Some people (I call them bastards) seem to have a word limit of 6K or up. Mine's about 3K, but it is a stretch.
