Preventing Burnout: A Manager's Toolkit
It bears repeating, many people who think they have burnout actually have chronic fatigue (CFS&#x2F;ME) but don’t know it yet. Repeated burnouts may simply be a relapse and recovery cycle. A number of the genetic predispositions to CFS also tends to have behavioral components (anxiety disorders and ADHD) that include a preference for a career in software. Now with Covid many of those who may never have had CFS are finding themselves with Long Covid. I mention this because the treatment for burnout is completely different to the treatment for CFS.
