Burnout creeps up slowly. Here are the early signs, and what you can do about them.
Burnout is more than being tired. It's a deep exhaustion that builds up when stress goes on for too long without enough recovery.
Early warning signs
Feeling drained before the day has even started
Becoming cynical or detached from work you used to care about
Struggling to concentrate or make decisions
Getting ill more often
What helps
Rest, boundaries and support. Talk to your manager about workload where you can, and protect time that's just for you.
