Like the tide slowly lapping away at your feet, the symptoms of burnout aren’t noticeable until you’re already waist deep, and then you can keep swimming, until suddenly your brain says, no thanks.
I think that’s the worst part, the fact that this burnout process is happening to you, and regardless of your mental ability, you can’t outwork it, or outwill it, or outwish it.
But personally I see it as your brain providing you a health and safety moment - there is danger in your current approach, and the circuit breaker has been tripped.
