Reframe Burnout Before Deciding What to Change
You are burnt out and you cannot tell if you need a holiday, a new job, or a different life. The decisions feel urgent. This reframes the situation first: names which dimension of burnout is dominant, what that tells you, the misconception you are probably working from, and what to stop, start, and leave alone for now.
