Madam – The risk of burnout is high. In a recent study, 28% of millennials claimed to feel frequent or constant burnout at work, compared with 21% of workers in older generations.
An additional 45% of millennial workers say they sometimes feel burned out at work, suggesting that about seven in 10 Millennials are experiencing some level of burnout on the job.
But burnout doesn’t need to drive us from careers we love. Real research and analyses show that we can get way more done in less time if only we know and then make habits out of science-backed practices.

The main reason young professionals burn out at their jobs is feeling constantly overwhelmed by a mounting pile of tasks, seemingly impossible to tackle within the desired time frame. Fortunately, there’s a way, backed by research and made easy for you to access, to change that. So, don’t let burnout be the reason you leave a job or career you love.
An initial research has found seven significant saving key areas: Managing your tasks and prioritising, managing and minimising interruptions, giving effective, frequent feedback and delegating well, controlling your email, overcoming procrastination and lack of motivation, mastering keyboard shortcuts, and streamlining how you manage your work and projects.
