Being successful with your burnout is a tough. You lack experience, you are shy and don't want your colleagues to be as good as you, and you are always questioning yourself. So where do you start ?
Here is my moto : "Always start by the Beginning".
3 basics principles to follow
1/ The first principle is to reach emotional and physical exhaustion.
You can't neglect any dimension here. Be relentless.
This is a necessary criteria, but it's not enough. Of course. It is never enough to achieve burnout.
Physical tips : Start with 1000 push ups every hours, from 8am to 7pm.
Emotional tips :
- Boss : go and scream at your favorite employee until you lose your voice. Take a hot tea with honey. Chose another employee, and let's go. Repeat.
- Employee : be needy. Harass your boss for more vacation, more money, a bigger budget to achieve your goals. Repeat.
2/ The second one is mystical : depersonalise
Just become as cold as John Snow after he is betrayed by the NightWatch.
Take a step back, or ten... or a mile.
The emotional fatigue will create the distance. Fast. You will feel less and less. And you will dissociate. Finally. You're now on Fire : you just don't care. Your wife/husband/partner ? Your friends ? Your sport ? Your taxes ? You're far beyond that. "To infinite ... and beyond" ;)
3/ Third door to open : Lose the meaning of the personnel accomplishments and goals.
You will become a pro athlete of inefficacy, and self devaluation.
This is where you finally touch the bottom... Of everything. You achieved Burnout ! Congratulations ! How do you recognize it ? You feel failure everywhere in your life.
It is unbearable. You are there. Burnout climax.
