Here’s one of the world’s most ridiculous takes: Burnout is a myth.
Naysayers believe burnout is an excuse to laziness and inefficiency. Working long hours, replacing sleep with doing academic requirements, stretching yourself thin to accommodate the people in your life—apparently, these activities have been normalized that it doesn’t cause fatigue to humans.
But even machines need to rest too if it’s been utilized for too long.
Burnout is as true as it can be. Now, more than ever, it needs to be talked about.
Here we discuss how burnout can be rooted in different facets of someone’s life; it isn’t just overfatigued or tiredness from overworking. Burnout can be a manifestation of a much more dangerous issue; it can also be a factor that changes a person’s lifestyle, affecting relationships and the environment around you.
This is only a glimpse of what we have in store for you. There is more knowledge in store for you in this episode of The emPOWERed Half Hour.
