How to
Recover
From Burnout
Spoiler alert: A company-sponsored mindfulness webinar won't fix it. Real recovery requires radical changes.
Admit It
Stop pretending you're 'just tired.' Acknowledge that the system is broken, not you. Take the Burnout Test to put a name to your exhaustion.
Set Boundaries
Delete Slack from your phone. Set an OOO auto-responder that actually means Out Of Office. Say 'no' without a five-paragraph apology.
Radical Rest
Resting is not scrolling TikTok while a podcast plays in the background. It means disconnecting entirely. Sleep. Stare at a wall. Do nothing.
Re-evaluate Work
Are you in the right job? Is the culture toxic? Sometimes the only way to cure burnout is to remove yourself from the fire entirely.
Need a baseline?
Before you can recover, you need to know how deep in the hole you are. Take our 3-minute burnout test to diagnose your corporate trauma level.
