If you feel exhausted at work, does that mean you're suffering from burn-out? Or is it just good, old-fashioned fatigue? And why are you always exhausted anyway? Is it because working from home during a global pandemic has stripped many of us of any boundaries we may have had in place between our personal and professional lives? Has the clenching response from your organisation caused a lot of 'belt-tightening' and management talk around 'doing-more-with-less'? Is it the sound of our oceans and fires burning around us that keeps you awake at night?

No wonder you're exhausted, petals. 

In this episode, we try to work out whether you're suffering from burn-out or fatigue, whether that matters, and what you can do about it. The very good work of Dr. Christine Maslach is cited often and if you are interested in learning more from the experts, she has talks, contributions to journal articles, and guest spots on podcasts all over the internet. Check her out! 

In the meantime, get yourself another cup of coffee and let's see how we can be well while working well - without napping through the next budget meeting.
