GMAT burnout is certainly a common problem--but has anyone ever felt that their GMAT prep was actually enjoyable?

I'm obviously a huge nerd, but I actually found doing GMAT math problems to be kinda fun. I was a political science major in college, so it had been a while since I've studied math. It kinda felt like a trip down memory lane doing highschool-level math problems again.

This might be ridiculous advice, but I think the most successful GMAT prep students try to view their prep as a fun activity. And it can be fun, especially with a community (like this one) behind you.

But maybe that's just me...

Yeah, I think of it as a game. I guess that's why we're working in this area...

I did have one of my students in my last class tell me that she dreaded the thought of prepping before the course started, but she actually enjoyed class so much that she started looking forward to coming and she was bummed when it finished a couple of weeks ago! [/MGMAT plug] :)

I am in the same boat.Burnt out.Loosing interest in GMAT prep.My mind wanders during the preparation. wants to go to a happy place.Personal problems dont help this matter too. Those problems are not the kind that I can solve anytime now.Work has hogged the free time too. I have chilled on and off a lil' bit during the last 1 month but haven't taken a real vacation in the last 1 year.
Inspite of studying for an average of 3 hours everyday, my GMAT prep scores still stuck in 400s.Seems like I am still weak in basics in quant and make silly mistakes in verbal(which I am better at than quant).

I know what you guys are gonna say.I need a holiday badly.I know I do.I am trying to figure it out.
Meanwhile, I am trying to keep up the motivation for GMAT by reading debriefs of other people who have nailed GMAT.
Any other small tips that I could use?
