Burnout before your 30th birthday
Exhaustion, poor work performance and negative emotions are all signs that you are overworked.
More people under the age of 30 seem to be showing the symptoms of burnout according to data examined by Afriforte, the North West University’s commercial arm of the Work Well unit.
Employees who feel that they are overworked, and are physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted they are usually burnt out.
Work Well associate professor Ina Rothmann said that causes of burnout include insufficient sleep, repetitive work, unrealistic deadlines and unsupportive managers.
These employees rate their productivity as poor, are likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, and are overweight.
The American Psychological Association’s Dr. David Ballard said there are ten signs you may be experiencing burnout.
This includes exhaustion, lack of motivation, frustration or cynicism, cognitive problems, poor productivity, interpersonal problems at home or work, not taking care of yourself, being preoccupied with work even when you’re not at work, feeling dissatisfied with all aspects of your life and suffering health problems.
