Used to think of burn out as a weakling thing, but i have to admit the job doesnt channel the same energy as before. Its become stale, and is starting to feel like a drag. How does burnout present, and what can i do to get things back under control?

    “burn out” in the common vernacular is a nebulous, poorly defined condition.

    If you’re unhappy “in” your work, then it doesn’t really matter what you call it.

    The solution is always going to involve less of that work - whether that’s a holiday, a change in jobs, or a reduction in hours. You can’t just memorise a mnemonic or start walking the dog.
