Burnout doesn't always come with sirens or dramatic symptoms – sometimes it just feels like weeks of running on empty while life keeps demanding more.

• Adulting is exhausting because we're essentially living two lives – work life and home life – with no integration
• Unlike in high school when we could skip a day, the stakes feel much higher as an adult with real responsibilities
• American culture's "go go go" mentality contributes significantly to our collective exhaustion
• The presence of technology and social media prevents our minds from ever fully decompressing
• Even during play and relaxation time, our minds constantly run through lists of what we "should" be doing
• Decision fatigue from constant choices all day leaves us mentally depleted by evening
• Four-day work weeks and better work/life balance exist in other countries, showing alternatives are possible
• Micro-breaks (even 5-10 minutes of silence) can help reset our mental state during overwhelming days
• Finding purpose in your work may reduce feelings of burnout by creating meaning in daily tasks

Finding a balance that works for you is essential – whether that means carving out quiet time, embracing hobbies that bring joy, or simply giving yourself permission to rest without guilt.
