Is anyone exempt from burnout?
Although burnout can affect anyone at any time, there are a few similar characteristics that most people with burnout seem to experience. If you notice any of these characteristics in yourself, it’s a clear sign that you could be on a fast road to becoming someone who burns out.
High-achievers are often prone to experiencing burnout. They love what they do but tend to overwork themselves beyond their limit. Eventually, they reach a breaking point where can’t go the extra mile anymore. Worn down and exhausted, they have no choice but to stop.
