Three Types of Burnout

There are three types of burnout: overexertion burnout, depletion burnout, and misalignment burnout. Overexertion burnout occurs when you overexert yourself by taking on too many tasks. The solution to this type of burnout is to learn to say no and focus on fewer things. Depletion burnout happens when you run out of energy due to prolonged periods of work without adequate breaks. To combat this, it's important to replenish your energy through activities that you find competent, autonomous, liberating, and mellow. Finally, misalignment burnout occurs when your work is not aligned with your values and goals. To overcome this, it's essential to reassess and align your work with what truly matters to you.
