PSA: know the signs of #burnout, and be careful, please. “One of the greatest risks for burnout is institutional decisions that professors can't control.

As someone who really relies on being able to make those creative leaps, see systems connections, and summon skills across multiple disciplines, even the early steps on the pathway to #burnout are a massive problem.

Everyone is feeling a little burned out, to be sure, and trying to cope with a million extra things, juggling weird, weirder, and people's snappiness is stressful. But actual #burnout takes a different form, and is lethal to productivity and creativity.
