1. WHAT IS JOB BURNOUT?

Job Burnout is "exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation."

Defined in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.


The job stress may be rooted in overwork. It could also be caused by other frustrations, such as lack of recognition from your boss, feeling unaccomplished, not getting the promotions you feel you deserve, or not receiving the proper compensation.


If you are in the wrong career or job, you will be frustrated. It could be that you are facing an environmental issue. The job or career is right for you but you are playing in the wrong environment, and vice versa.


No one should be working all the time. Are you a workaholic, or do you love your job so much that you are having difficulty separating from it?


"On his or her deathbed, no one ever said, 'I wish I had spent more time in the office'" is a quote that is attributed to Paul Tsongas and others.




2. The Causes of Burnout

  • Workload
  • There is a mismatch between your workload and your capacity; you do not have enough time, energy, or skills required to effectively get your work done.
  • have opportunities for rest and recovery, and find time for professional growth and development. When you chronically feel overloaded, these opportunities to restore balance don’t exist.


  • Lack of control: There is no autonomy; you cannot access needed resources; there is an inability to influence decisions that affect your job, schedules, assignments, and workload; and there is a lack of boundaries with people.


  • Unclear job expectations: Where there is no clarity, there is confusion. You need to know what is expected of you and what you expect of others.


  • Imbalance of activity: The job is extremely repetitive and task-oriented, or monotonous or chaotic, and you need constant or little energy to remain focused.


  • Lack of community: Isolation at work and in your personal life will cause stress.


  • Dysfunctional workplace dynamics: Lack of leadership, teamwork focus, and direction.

4. How to Save Yourself from Burnout


Gain Clarity

  • Create a Team for Support and Collaboration:

Discuss your concerns with trusted individuals. This should be a supervisor, mentor, or family member.


  • Assess your current situation and Evaluate your options.

Set goals for what you can start doing, stop doing, and reimplement, and what can wait.


  • Seek support.

Whether you reach out to coworkers, friends, or loved ones, support and collaboration might help you cope.


Maybe you can work together to change expectations or reach compromises or solutions.


Take advantage of relevant services such as employee assistance programs or other government-assisted programs.


  • Utilize relaxing activities.

Meditation, Yoga or tai chi.


  • Exercise

Regular physical activities help to deal with stress, clear your mind, take it off work, and help you to refocus.

Sleep restores well-being and helps protect your health.


  • Mindfulness

Practice mindfulness exercises that focus on your breath flow and senses so that you are aware of what you are sensing and feeling at every moment, without judgment.
