Burnout seems like such a buzzword now, but honestly, it’s real. If you’ve successfully come back from a major burnout season, what actually helped? Was it a job change, better boundaries, finding new routines - or something else? Would love some real-world ideas, not just "self-care" advice.

Honestly, the only thing that truly helped me was changing jobs. I kept trying to "self-care" my way out of burnout, but it was the environment that was the problem. Once I found a place that actually respected time off and workload balance, it made a night-and-day difference.

Agree with Analyst 1. Unless you can totally change your attitude towards work (which you likely can't because you've reached the Burnout stage) all strategies and routines will just make you stay longer in a place that isn't good for you.
