a mirror, not a diagnosis
Is it burnout, or a bad week?
Twelve questions across the three things burnout is made of. No score goes anywhere — it stays on this screen, for you.
Thinking about the last month at work — or at study, or at home if that is your work.
I wake up already tired, even after a full night.
By the middle of the week I have nothing left for anything outside work.
Small tasks take far more out of me than they used to.
I feel numb about work that used to matter to me.
I have become more cynical about the place, or the people in it.
I do the minimum and count the hours.
I still feel I do this work well.
I finish most days able to point to something I did.
I doubt whether any of it makes a difference.
Sunday evening has a dread to it.
My body has been telling me something: sleep, stomach, headaches, illness that lingers.
I snap at people who did not deserve it.
