Burnout is input versus output, when input is overloaded.

What is Burnout?
Rest, Time-Off, Self-Care aren't enough!
The Solution isn't more discipline or productivity.
Recovery requires restoring mind/body regulation, rebuilding your systems capacity to deal with all the input, throughput, and output!
Recovery also must include making all your working and personal pieces fit so you feel comfortable in your mind and body as you reconnect to the larger world you live in.
