What’s the fastest way to recover burnout?

I had this happen right as I was wrapping up a major deliverable last year. I'd been working long hours for months and it left me completely exhausted. I took two weeks to recover mentally, spent a lot of time with my kids and family. That made me realize that I would never get myself into a situation like that again. My job supported my decision to delegate and shift some responsibilities around to get to a better work-life balance. I think the only way to deal with burnout is to address the root cause.

I’m hosting family from America in my home in Europe this week. Being away for just a couple of years has made me really aware of American tendencies. They’re fat and literally are only always thinking of their next meal. We can eat, and they want to talk about dinner. They always complain about their knees and feet even though they’re also only in their mid thirties. I’ve decided to no longer host friends/family from America because it’s always like this 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫃🏼
