There isn't a magic solution to burnout. We all have different aspirations, goals, motivations and sources of stress.

Thank you for sharing your story 😊 something I recently learned from the 6 Types of Working Genius is that people are much more likely to burn out when they spend too much time in their working frustrations, and not enough time working in their areas of working genius. in your experience, from your experience, do think there is some truth to this? would love to hear your thoughts.
Tickets may be hard or boring or tedious, but they don't impact my energy level the same way frustrating situations do. Workplace frustrations take a different kind of toll.
I came across some article talking about different types of rest, and being mindful of that helped me quite a bit. Instead of pushing through the entire day and letting frustrations accumulate, I take a little break every time I start to get frustrated by something - take a short walk, pick up a guitar or lay in the dark room for a couple of minutes. Some frustrations stay, of course. We have relationships with people we work with, and it is hard to just "not care about it".
So, to answer your question, yes. I think that improving the work environment by leading better meetings, paying more attention to hiring and paying attention to the needs of team members, must lead to a less frustrating work environment. That will then lead to more fulfilled and happy people that work well together and are able to communicate openly. And people who trust each other and are comfortable working together are more effective and productive.

Thanks for the great article. My five cents: developing a mindfulness skill (by which I mean not the overly advertised meditation thing, but learning to mindful of your body and listening to the signals it gives) can help a lot in preventing burnout. Because burnout is easier to prevent than treat. At least in my experience
Amazing post. I unfortunately have this obsession with work and it’s hard to get rid of it. The only way I could find is develop other obsessions outside of work, yet still work can be just too attractive 😌
Maybe start by trying to find little things that make you happy in each day. Do something just for yourself. It might be easier and more fulfilling than finding a replacement thing you are going to focus all your energy at, so you wouldn't focus all that energy at work. Put your self first and ask yourself what would make you happy. If that is finishing something for work, so be it. 🙃
Well said

This post was a good read, thanks for sharing!
I came across this word called as "self compassion" couple of years back. And, this is so important.
And, then just to think - is a human being born to work?
Sometimes one gets caught up with work and "things" then tends to forget about "Themselves" often leading to burnout. Self-care should be priority. Sadly though, it often is not. Good information. Thanks. Some people at times need to be reminded.
Burnout is so real. I am in the middle of it right now. Cheers, and thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
