Erika Davis explains that burnout comes from pouring energy into work that doesn't matter to you. She recommends getting honest about what actually matters, letting less-important tasks go, and accepting that your energy is finite.
Burnout a lot of times comes not necessarily from working too hard, but from putting yourself in a situation where you're working really hard at things that aren't important to you and you don't find meaning in those things anymore. So I think getting really honest about what's important to you and letting the other things kind of go, prioritizing what's important and letting those other things go has been really helpful for me in understanding, like, if I only have this amount of energy, where am I going to put that, and how am I going to accept that I'm not going to be able to give 100% to every single thing?
