What are ways that you stay focused or motivated? I'm finding myself not taking anything seriously and I'm drifting off during calls...

For context, I'm usually a high performer and pretty sharp picking up multiple things but I'm really burnt out right now.

Is it that you are burned out or do you not like the work you are doing? I find when I am drifting off like that and feeling like I am not taking things seriously it is because I am bored and my job is not mentally stimulating me. That is when I know it is time to start looking for something new.

Definitely take a break. A few days away may do you a world of good. If you don't have days to take off, just spend your non-working time doing things that are unrelated to your work. Try to get more rest and relax your mind. By stepping away, if only mentally, you'll be able to step back and get into the swing of it again.

Take full PTO

I’m dealing with the same… except I think I’ve felt this way the whole time in my corporate career

I think a lot about how maybe I'm just not cut out for corporate America..

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field.

I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
