It can cause symptoms like fatigue, irritability, self-criticism, and issues with sleep, health, and motivation. Burnout is influenced by factors like unclear expectations, too many responsibilities, lack of work-life balance, and constantly feeling a mismatch between one's environment and what they desire. The document suggests actions like taking breaks, focusing on stress reduction, changing jobs, talking to others, and hobbies to help address burnout.
