What do you do whe you feel that you are starting to burn-out. Is there any software development process that deals with that stuff? Is there any agile process that apart from all that cooperation, development, tools takes burning-out factor into the matter as well?
What are your concerns?

Jeff, you are saying that we should: "... find a way to spend at least a few hours *every week* looking at the new things" and that's exactly what I am talking about. If I want to look at new things, I have to have few hours extra. If I look at the stuff that is not directly related to my work I have to do it at home - which implies additional time spent for work - but not paid. I know I can treat that as a some sort of investment, but still - these are over hours.
