Are You Burning Out? Catch It Before It's Too Late

Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It's a slow erosion — a gradual draining of energy, motivation, and emotional reserves that most people don't notice until they're already deep in it. By the time you feel truly burned out, you've usually been operating in a high-stress deficit for months. The Burnout Detector exists to catch those early warning signs before they become a full breakdown — because burnout caught early is manageable, but burnout ignored can take months or years to recover from.

The assessment covers the three core dimensions of burnout as defined by decades of occupational health research: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (feeling detached from your work and the people around you), and reduced personal accomplishment (feeling like what you do doesn't matter). Scoring high in any of these areas is a signal worth taking seriously. Scoring high in all three means you need to make changes now — not when things slow down, not after the next project, now.

Who is this tool for? Anyone in a high-demand environment: professionals, entrepreneurs, caregivers, students, parents, athletes. Burnout doesn't discriminate. It's especially common among high achievers who push themselves hard and struggle to set limits. Take this assessment honestly, review your results, and use them as a starting point for a real conversation with yourself about what needs to change. Your energy is a resource. Protect it.
