Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Burnout

If you have not yet noticed, I see the world in 2 flavors - Extrinsic or Intrinsic.

Extrinsic burnout is like everything else extrinsic; it is externally driven. 
Intrinsic burnout is, like everything else intrinsic, internally driven.

Extrinsic burnout can literally kill you. It is the kind driven by everyone around you, and if you have reached burnout, it is obviously to your detriment. We know we have hit it when you return from vacation and don't feel relaxed at all. Instead, you feel like you spent the entire vacation dreading your return. This is not healthy! It will slowly and painfully kill you!

Intrinsic burnout is a warning. It is your body and emotions coming together to let you know you've pushed them too far. Now, it is time to take a break and recover. You will do this because you want to come back to it, and you know rest is needed. Your time off will renew your energy, and going back will be a joy."

"Find out which one you are buried under and which one will set you free. Never mind; I know you can figure that part out. Find out how you need to change your life to reach your outside genius.
