After suffering career burnout for the past 4-5 years, here& #39;s how I& #39;ve come to understand its cause:

Burnout is a response to repeated attempts to make meaningful change while lacking the agency to do so. See problems > try to fix them > get shot down or ignored.
My mission and career objective from here on out: no more burnout.

That means holding a tighter grip on my own destiny, so I can keep the agency required to enact meaningful change. Really looking forward to it. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌻" title="Sonnenblume" aria-label="Emoji: Sonnenblume">
Wow, I never expected writing about burnout to resonate with so many (does anyone ever mean to go viral?). My issues with burnout were born long ago but I should have examined it much earlier. It’s still comforting to have strategies now for dealing with something so widespread.
