Managing Burnout

Burnout is named so because the brain can only sustain high-intensity work for a limited time.
Fulfillment in labor is important, but burnout clouds the joy and pride in work.
During burnout, rational career evaluation is difficult; focus on returning to a balanced headspace.
Minimize work hours and seek meaning outside of work—engage in hobbies, spend time with loved ones, or find awe in life.
Re-evaluate life if work is the sole source of meaning, and seek alternative ways to reignite passion.
Recovery from burnout is signaled by remembering the love for labor and reassessing if it can be reignited.
