What was burnout like for you?
For those of you who have experienced burnout in your job, how did it manifest in your life and how did you overcome it?
It feels like you don’t have enough time at the end of the week to get everything done that is not just work related and you end up making self sacrifices in terms of health in well being that take free time to climb out of. More time than a weekend or the sorry amount of vacation the average American gets. Sometimes quitting your job is the best thing you can do. Obviously not recommended if you don’t have a good savings but everyone should have the freedom to take a sabbatical for a solid month or two each year to live your life and spend time with family and friends.
You feel mentally exhausted regardless of how much you sleep.
