How a burnout changed my life (chriseidhof.tumblr.com)

Burnout murdered my life. Working 90 hours a week with no reprieve (I had 12 other mid-managers depending on my mentorship, ergo, I couldn't "quit" or "stop" being motivational). Its dangerous. Monitor it carefully.

Most of mine stemmed from managing my schedule every 15 minutes (literally, 7am - 9pm), with near-zero socialization. It was great the year before (building a small painting business franchise). The upper (district) management was too much.

Be well.


If that is the way the burnout changed your life. You can thank the burnout for making you a more mature man.
