burnout?

[Jun aka Pekto]

when can you say that a person is a burnout? any typical symptoms?

any ways of avoiding it?

paano kung na burned out ka na? any coping strategies?

- Short temper / Quick to anger
- Very short attention span
- Cynical attitude
- Exhausted feeling even after night's rest
- High Blood Pressure
- Insomnia

Only way to avoid it is to take regular vacation / leave. That's not always possible for the majority of people.

Coping......... Take regular breaks; close eyes and imagine relaxing place.

I always make sure people who work under me get their breaks and take leave regularly.

Add: I also let them know I symphatize with them. But, there's still a job to do. If they're stressing out at work and it seems like they're repressing something, I do my best to have a rapport with them and find out what's bugging them. Then I can decide on a better course of action.
