Seeing symptoms of a burnout

We are extremely grateful again that I am still maintaining my income

during this time thanks to my business being digital, but this challenge

obviously gave us another level of stress.

All of this in combination with realizing that I didn’t give my team the

time and flexibility they needed in order to support me properly left my

brain in ruins to say the least. I struggled to stay productive (I could

barely work 5 hours / day) and I slept way more than normal.

Sometimes I found myself staring at my computer screen for long

periods of time without accomplishing anything due brain fog. I just

simply didn’t have any motivation to work on new projects / initiatives. It

was so not like me to have such a low drive to execute client work

effectively. It took me awhile through all of this to even realize that I was

in the middle of a severe job burnout. Once I did though, I knew I
needed to change things to start recovering.
