A short YouTube monologue by Omar Zenhom arguing that burnout is not caused simply by doing too much work but by doing too much without purpose, support, or rest. The speaker emphasizes that emotional disconnection from one’s work turns effort mechanical and leads to misery; the talk mixes direct claim-making with first-person experience.
Burnout isn't the result of doing too much. All right? It's a big misconception. A lot of people think that I'm burnt out because I'm just doing too much work. It's actually the result of doing too much without purpose, without support or rest. Right. I've been there. Disconnection is the real killer. When you no longer emotionally are attached to what you're doing, what you're building, what you're creating, it becomes mechanical, really, and eventually you start to feel miserable.
