Are You Burning Out?

Burnout implies a whole bunch of different things might not be what we thought it was. Usually when we say somebody's burning out, we tell them, Oh, go home, take a break. What we really need is to spend more time doing something we love. And sometimes at work, two people would say, you're really busy and they'd take things off my plate. But that some of the things they were taking off the plate were actually the things I loved. We should have put all the right things on your plate and it would have refueled you.
