My Experience with Burnout and How to Avoid It

  • Summary

  • In April 2020, I burned out bad. It took me over two months before I was back to myself again, and I want to help you avoid the same pain. In today's episode, I talk you through some of the symptoms, how burning out for two months affected me, and what you can do to stay far away from it.

    Common symptoms of burnout include:

    • You're exhausted physically and mentally
    • Writing is harder than usual, even impossible
    • You're emotional irritable,and stressed
    • You feel like you can't possibly take any time off
    • Your to-do doesn't seem to get any smaller even though you're working.


    Your action steps for today are:

    1. Make a list of your burnout symptoms (or copy the ones from this episode if you've never burned out before)
    2.  Make a list of the things that help you relax
    3.  Share your symptoms with someone you trust so they can help you take a break when you need it.
