Burnout has body-level early signals. Learning to notice them is a professional skill, not a soft one.
By the time people call it burnout, the body has been sending signals for months. Sleep quality drops. Weekends stop restoring. Small decisions become heavy.
The good news is that these signals are trainable. Noticing them early is not weakness; it's the most professional thing you can do for your work.
A five-minute daily check-in is enough to start.
