A lot of people think burnout is failure, that burnout prevention is endurance (just try harder and don’t succumb), and that burnout ends when we change jobs.

But burnout is just information - and it’s on you to make meaning of the message.

Most of us weren’t taught how to do that, though. So poke around here if you’re curious about what your burnout is telling you and if you want to start your own experiments in burnout recovery.

And If you want more personal guidance, schedule some time with me to see if working together would be the right next step.

Until then, happy poking.

It’s True: Almost everyone misses early burnout.

Because early burnout feels like the opposite of burnout. It feels like the climb towards the top of the rollercoaster, except you don’t know it’s a rollercoaster. You just think “this is new and challenging as hell! Can’t wait to continue this miraculous never-ending ascent!”.

And most people miss the next stage too - because it feels like what we’ve come to accept as “normal” in this always busy, always rushing, always at capacity, always keeping the people pleased but no one is actually ever fully pleased, modern world.

No wonder most people only recognize burnout, if they ever do, it its deepest stage - the chronic functional freeze, or the body riots, the seething resentment, the cognitive fog.

It doesn’t have to be that way. We can learn to see the signs earlier. And the first step is a reality check on where you actually are.
