Signs Your Team Is Suffering from 'Burnout Debt'

It is so much easier to burnout when you are working from home. You take less breaks, spend less time shooting the breeze with coworkers, and almost every interaction is very formal. If you aren&#x27;t careful you never get a chance to decompress between tasks. Also there is the temptation to constantly multitask. During long meetings it&#x27;s easy to listen in while working on something else.<p>Finally there is a feeling of insecurity since you aren&#x27;t being seen working. A lot of the stuff you do is invisible to everyone else if they can&#x27;t see you working on it. Also since managers don&#x27;t see you working they assign way more tasks than usual.<p>This is without the additional hours you may be working. Add that to the above and you are on an express train to burnout.

you can burnout just by working at full throttle for a normal working day as well. Skipping breaks and just hyper focusing.
