Yeah, I almost burned out a couple years back and the causes were way more complicated than just getting the right work assigned.
I’d cut ties with my abusive mother. I was saddled with debt from living with her. My economy wasn’t quite working out. I was falling behind on work. Caught Covid, which screwed with my heart so my health deteriorated really rapidly. I wasn’t given the opportunity to work from home and the sum of it all just wore me down.
The tasks weren’t the problem, honestly.
