Burnout Signs & Recovery: How Pros Are Bouncing Back

Burnout can creep up on the best of us… One minute, you’re productivity levels are flying. The next? You’re Googling "Can I live off grid?" 😲

The Situation: A Gallup study found that 44% of employees feel burned out at work. It’s pretty normal of late (worryingly), so don’t beat yourself up about it too much. To remedy this, many professionals are quietly resetting, recharging, and thriving — without quitting their jobs. Instead of walking away, consider making these game-changing tweaks to your work routine:

Some Remedies:

✔️ Reduce the endless loop of meetings and “quick calls” — like Shopify
✔️ Set strict work-life boundaries — like Daimler’s "Mail on Holiday", enabling employees to auto-delete incoming emails while on vacay
✔️ Take regular breaks — as Subway implemented
✔️ Switching to a 4-day workweek — like Exos did and reduced employee burnout from 70% to 36%

Feeling burnout creep in? Realize the signs before you’re stress-buying a one-way ticket to the middle of nowhere:
