Burnout isn’t always caused by doing too much. Sometimes it’s caused by not knowing what’s coming next.

Uncertainty is exhausting and destabilising for me.

That’s why a day that doesn’t look “that busy” can still leave you completely drained — especially if it’s full of unpredictability, second-guessing, waiting, or constant switching.

Sometimes the opposite of overwhelm isn’t just rest. It’s more certainty, clarity and direction.

What’s been draining you most?

That's a very good point. A slow day that's filled with anxiety can be exhausting. I'll get into situations where I feel a real sense of dread, and not knowing what's going to happen really wears on me. There's a lot to be said for having certainty and stability.

A lot of people don't get this. I have a pretty boring job but I always feel like I'll be on the chopping block if there are any layoffs. I'd rather be busy and have my days go by quickly and feel safe in my job, rather than sitting around scrolling on Reddit all day and feeling like my job is at stake.
