I've gone through this, mostly earlier in my career.
I've learned that it's best for me to pace myself. It might take a season or two, but you'll find what frequency of assignments will work for you. What is the first "to go": is it beong getting mentally prepared for an assignment, or it is being physically drained (ankles, knees, etc.)?
Pacing yourself can difficult if you're, for example, a 2nd or 3rd yr. official where you're starting to really learn many things and you feel that you're learning curve is going through the roof.
