Test burnout? A burnt-out feeling
If you have a burnout, you often feel burnt-out, exhausted, and tired. You start worrying more and more and you notice that you find it increasingly difficult to pay attention. Tasks are not completed as quickly as you used to and you forget things more and more often.
Test burnout? If you find it difficult to set boundaries
People who find it difficult to set boundaries have a larger chance of getting a burnout. The chance of getting a burnout is larger because you push yourself too far. You often find it difficult to say "no" when someone asks you something, because you want to help other people or because you find it difficult to disappoint someone. Because you bite off more than you can chew, you will notice that you experience more stress and that you worry more often.
Test burnout? I sleep poorly
Often, people also have difficulties sleeping, because they worry more often and their body gets less rest. That causes you to sleep in a shallow way, meaning your body does not get the rest which it needs. This causes you to end up in a vicious cycle, which is difficult to get out of.
