⚡ Burnout isn’t just “stress”: human body cannot run a marathon at a sprint pace ⚡

A few years ago, I hit a wall. As an engineer, I prided myself on solving the unsolvable, taking on complex challenges, and never backing down. But somewhere along the way, I crossed a threshold I didn’t see coming.

The signs were subtle at first: fatigue, brain fog, impatience, apathy about work I once loved. Before long, even the smallest tasks felt like climbing a mountain. My creativity dipped. My confidence wavered. My balance at home frayed. The impact wasn’t just professional; it was deeply personal.

Engineers are especially vulnerable to burnout. We often work in high-stakes environments with tight deadlines, shifting requirements, and pressure to be “always-on.” Our minds are our tools, and when those tools are strained, everything else suffers.

👉 Prevention must come first. It is far better to recognise the early warning signs and intervene than to wait until the damage is done and try to rebuild.

Here are a few strategies I’ve learned (the hard way):

- Set boundaries: say no when your plate is full (I’m still working on this)
- Block time for rest (yes, actual breaks)
- Delegate or outsource non-core tasks
- Stay connected with peers, mentors, or mental-health advocates
- Reflect regularly (daily or weekly) to catch warning signs early

Also, I strongly encourage everyone to watch this documentary: “Burnout - When does work start feeling pointless?” https://youtu.be/raVms8w61No?si=-d_qpOgYICfG5UJu

It offers powerful perspectives on burnout: how it develops, how it affects lives, and what can be done.

Let’s shift the conversation: let’s talk preventive care, not just crisis management. If you’ve ever experienced burnout (or are going through it), you’re not alone. Sharing our stories can be the first step toward change.
