The quiet signs of burnout

Burnout is not the day you collapse. It's the six months where the parts of your day you used to like stopped feeling like anything at all.

Watch for: shorter fuse with people you love, food that tastes flat, weekends that don't restore, a phone in your hand you don't remember picking up.

Rest is not a reward for finishing. It's part of how you finish. Put one thing on tomorrow's calendar that has no goal.
