Burnout can sneak up on you like a sneaky ninja, blending in with your everyday routine. I remember one morning when I woke up feeling tired—like I hadn’t slept at all. At first, I thought it was just a bad night, but after days of dragging myself through the workweek, I realized something was off. My brain felt like a TV on static, and every task felt like climbing a mountain.
The first clue? I was getting irritable over small things. A spilled cup of coffee? I nearly lost it. I started avoiding tasks I used to love, and the thought of working just made me want to crawl into bed and pretend the world didn’t exist.
But here’s the twist—I didn’t wait for it to get worse. I took action before burnout consumed me. I started saying “no” to things that drained me. I took mini-breaks throughout the day, and I went for walks to clear my mind. Most importantly, I asked for help. And guess what? It worked. Burnout didn’t get the best of me.
Now, I know the signs and act fast—no more waiting around for the ninja burnout to strike.
