Take Preventative Measures To Avoid Burnout

Taking consistent and measured steps toward a clearly-defined goal ensures forward-moving progress and minimizes the likelihood of burnout.

Burnout was once considered to be the result of stress. Experts believed that ever-increasing levels of stress in an individual’s life eventually causes him to reach a point at which he no longer cares about his work.

Today, researchers are less inclined to chalk up burnout to stress alone. They now attribute the condition to a multitude of factors.

At work, inadequate compensation, a lack of control and repetition of tasks can contribute to it. At home, insufficient sleep, a poor diet and the absence of meaningful relationships can set the stage.

Some people are more prone to burnout than others due to certain personality traits. For example, individuals with Type A personalities often drive themselves to the point of mental and physical exhaustion by always being “on the go.” Likewise, perfectionists drive themselves to exhaustion by spending inordinate amounts of time perfecting everything they do. Chronic pessimism has also been associated with burnout.
