That is the essence of the term burnout.
And so in the simplest form of itself, what it means is you're working too long, too hard, and you haven't allowed yourself break in between.
A burnout can take several forms.
We know that there are physical forms of burnout, for example, the fatigue, and that's physical fatigue to the point where you feel like you can't get out of bed.
There's the mental fatigue where it feels like you've hit brain fog and you can't think properly.
You feel like you can't get the sentences out.
People report to me that
forgotten the word I can't remember what the word is and that's that state of brain fog and that then can clock into some of the emotional elements where there's frustration within yourself I used to be able to do x y z why have I hit this roadblock now and long term
that will have impacts on your sleep.
And we know that when your sleep gets impacted, a lot of other things will get impacted in your life.
When we start to feel burnt out, we start to notice that the things we enjoy doing in our lives start maybe not bringing us as much joy or because we're so tired, we stop doing them.
And then that feeds the cycle as well of feeling dissatisfied, feeling low.
Another piece to burnout that I wanted to mention here is that it's not always about high pressure doing too much.
Sometimes burnout can also kick in when you're not doing enough of what really lights you up.
And there's another phenomenon called bore out, which Adam Grant's been speaking about recently, which is this idea that when we're feeling dissatisfied and feeling like there's a lack of sense of purpose for what's going on in our life, we can exhibit a lot of the similar symptoms to burnout as well.
So interesting when you add that perspective, because when you think about burnout, it's more like you want to manage it, but then it also is an opportunity to reflect and be like, oh, what happened?
