Career burnouts are tough. They can face you with questions about what is next and motivation can seem like a ghost of the past. There are three regular types of burnout, frenetic burnout, underchallenged burnout and worn-out burnout. The third one is pretty self explanatory. Frenetic burnout is when you work too hard and become exhausted.
Key Takeaways:
- Frenetic burnout that comes when you work increasingly harder, to the point of exhaustion.
- Underchallenged burnout that occurs when monotonous conditions fail to provide satisfaction.
- Worn-out burnout that happens when you have prolonged stress or a lack of control or acknowledgement.
“Worn-out burnout happens when you encounter stress and lack the motivation needed to get through it. Fantasizing about quitting might help you get through the day-to-day, but finding ways to reduce or eliminate the problem is better.”
