FAQ
Quick answers
Is this an online burnout assessment tool?
It is a no-email self-reflection check-in for burnout-related pressure. It is not a clinical assessment, diagnosis, score, or treatment tool.
Why does this page avoid a burnout score?
A score can make sense in some clinical or workplace settings, but this page is built for one practical next step: naming the drain and choosing one pressure reducer.
What should I do if burnout is affecting my health or safety?
If burnout feels severe, persistent, unsafe, or health-impacting, consider a licensed professional, doctor, trusted support person, workplace support channel, or emergency service as appropriate.
