In a world where smartphones are an ever-present companion, our lives have been transformed. Now connected 24/7 to social networks, inundated with constant news updates and messages, many of us find ourselves working longer and harder than ever. Perhaps you, too, find yourself caught in a cycle of perpetual chores and commitments, leaving little time for friends and family. This relentless pace can take a toll on your mental well-being, but just how much? By answering the following questions, you can determine whether you need a respite to overcome burnout, or if stress management techniques are in order. Conversely, everything might be perfectly fine, and what you're experiencing could simply be the ebb and flow of life that we all navigate. Take a moment to breathe deeply and relax as you embark on this self-assessment.
How many hours do you work a day?
Do you work from home or do you go to work every day?
I work from home or in a combo model (home and office)
I work at a place that is less than an hour away from my house
I work at a place that is more than an hour away from my house
Do you engage in physical activity?
Yes, several times a week
I try at least once a week
Choose the color that reflects your feeling while working:
What is the last thing you think about before you fall asleep?
Which negative emotion do you experience more during your life?
What do you usually eat while working?
Do you like hearing your phone ring in the evening?
Only if it's a conversation I'm looking forward to
No, I'd rather be left alone
How many hours a day do you spend scrolling through social networks?
Do you tend to check things related to work after work hours?
No, and even if they ask, I probably won't do it
Yes, sometimes and if it is required
What do you tend to suffer more?
What would you change or upgrade in your work?
My workstation or the tools I use
The fast pace at which you have to work
Everything is under control
Your result shows that you manage to balance your life, and even know how to identify your feelings and emotions as well as how to control them. This does not mean that your life is without challenges, but that you simply know how to use mechanisms that help you deal with them well. It's important that you continue to act this way and that you don't try to burden yourself too much, because in the end you live day-to-day, and as long as your routine is good for you, it means that your life is good. However, if you feel that you are standing still and that this situation is affecting you negatively, it may be time to pick up the pace a bit, invest more and aim for a higher place.
You suffer a little stress, but that's all
Your result shows that there are indeed several things in your life that add to your stress level. While stress can be motivating and even necessary to progress, chronic stress can do the opposite and negatively affect your mental and physical health. It is important that you learn how to deal with the stress you are experiencing, when you can do this by engaging in physical activity, meditation or even short breaks during work where you do things that relax you. You may have to investigate yourself deeply and find out what the source of the stress is, so that you can make the necessary changes in your lifestyle so that you can manage it effectively and successfully. Either way, you're far from burnout, but be careful, because if you don't act now you may well end up in that situation.
You are definitely suffering from burnout
Your result shows that you suffer from severe erosion. Burnout is not just tiredness from what you do - it is a physical and mental state of exhaustion that is accompanied by great stress and/or devoting too much time and effort from your life to work or similar avenues. It is very important that you learn to prioritize other things in your life that may ease your mind, such as family, friends and hobbies, and if necessary it is even recommended to contact a therapist to help you express your feelings in words, which will make your feelings clearer so that you can treat them and their source. Also remember that it's okay to take a break from whatever you're doing, whether for a few days or a few weeks. You must recharge yourself with new energies, and this is not a luxury - it is important for your well-being and the continuation of your path.
