Take all the breaks and deep breaths you like but the solution to burnout is to work less. Overwork is slowly killing us all.

Especially you are already burned out. Need recovery by working less.

While a huge workload contributes to burnout, the main reason why we get burnout is when what we value and what we do are not aligned

True

This is true. I’ve been experiencing everything that he is saying word for word. I used to be the type of person that was extremely well organized. I had a strict routine that I would follow, including cooking, cleaning and laundry. Since experiencing burnout, my entire routine has been thrown out the window. I hardly cook or clean. I sleep all day over weekends. I feel completely exhausted after finishing a few menial tasks at work. My day feels like it’s 48hours long, and yet time is moving so quickly. I find my role extremely boring and mismatched with my capabilities. What I do does not require a person will a unique set of skills in order to execute; anyone can do it.

I can definitely relate to this.

I have felt like a slave at work since Covid - doing more, expecting more and more from systems, work faster, heavier work loads. Employers are treating employees like machines or vending machines now, rather than human beings it seems, with the increase of technology, and with expectations to do ten times more, in a shorter more rapid pace!

I'm so burned out, I'd rather be poor than work.

That’s the plan! They want us all to want the Universal Basic Income. They’ve inflated western society so much we can’t keep up. Results? Burnout and desperate for anything other than what their reality is

Some people burn out and end up in a depression

I’ve just had annual leave and was refreshed after feeling wiped out at work . However after one day back that was stressful felt exactly as I did before I went on annual leave . The difference was I recognised my issue might be my stressful job as off work I did not feel depressed. This video helped so much in distinguishing this further and what to do and I found it so helpful to look at how to protect myself from my stressful work and how to be more resilient. Thank you Adam and Cleveland clinic from the UK

Burnout is basically the working class syndrome. Pretty much why most people go through it.

I studied music in college and have always wanted to be a musician. Now making music just feels like work. All I do is work. No relationships, no social life, barely any exercise, no sleep, poor diet, the whole gamut. It doesn’t help that I’m bipolar Meditation used to be the most important thing in my life. I would meditate 30 minutes per day and remain mindful throughout the day Burnout has killed that drive. I’ve stayed at the same level of seniority for years because I’ll get so burned out from one job and move to another. Rinse and repeat. Just spinning my wheels I am an alcoholic and was sober for three years. I finally felt free from addiction. Then my bosses boss invited me to drinks and I relapsed for at least 6 months; drinking throughout the day and night and developing a nicotine addiction. I started missing meetings, falling behind on work, secretly drinking when with family, low self-esteem, etc. Also gained a ton of weight I am now 7 days sober from alcohol and still getting withdrawal symptoms (cold sweats, flu like symptoms, depression/agitation, etc.) I know what it is like to be sober and how I previously barely thought about drinking. I am trying to get back to that place Hoping to fix the cycle soon

I've seen many cases where making a career out of a hobby ends up ruining it 😢 All the best for your journey

I cant have routines bc i never know what my work might offer on a daily basis or IF I'm offered work. I dont know if this month ill ba able to pay rent even. I feel like the minimum required of me to be able to pay rent, keep my home clean, take care of my child, put food on the table is 300%. If there was 2 or three people who was me, they would be able to manage. But i can't. There is just no time. I work after i put my child to bed and after leaving my child at daycare there isn't enough time for me to work to put food on the table. My kid spends way too much time at daycare. And after I've picked her up there is not enough time to buy food, prepare food and clean home and spend time with my kid. Ive tried everything to make it work but the equation is just not adding up. And now I'm at a point where I barely can do any of it anymore.

sometimes you get burn out, as a caregiver.
