Being relaxed and playing is really where it's at. I tend to get too engrossed in completing a task (whether it be leveling or whatever) that I burn myself out too quickly. I'll probably end up stopping again after leveling my Shaman, because I'll simply play too much each day. I tend to think I'm a bit obsessive compulsive, because I can't just stop for one reason or another (be it I wanna hit that next level (usually the 10's (i.e. 20, 30, etc)) or I hate stopping my questing in one section of a zone, because I don't want to go back there again and resume).
Maybe I should just switch between leveling the Shaman and leveling one of my 60's to 70. Or maybe a round-robin between my Shaman and my 3 60's that need to get to 70 still. Although I tried this idea with my lowbies (not day-wise but staggered leveling such as one guy gets to 25, next guy goes to 25, then to 35, etc) and I could never stick with it. I found it too hard to focus on what to do next when my mind had to keep "resetting" and "reloading" all of the information about what quests I need to do and how to play the character correctly.
