Experiencing burnout doesn’t just remain a buzzword, it is something I can resonate with as a student who runs a business. Juggling between academic responsibilities and the work of an entrepreneur was something I regarded as an achievement. Late-night sessions, meetings between classes, and doing more than what was required was the norm. But eventually, I started noticing the signs – the fatigue, the lack of motivation, emotional numbness, and a decline in my performance. That’s when I understood the fact that it was burnout, and things definitely needed to be changed. All’s well that begins with acknowledgment; this was my first step in the long road to recovery. Admitting that I was burned out felt like liberty; it didn’t necessitate the need to be ashamed. It didn’t feel like failure. Resting without guilt and the necessity to push my limits was definitely a step in the right direction. I put rules in place like no post work emails, and no email checks during meal times. My priorities were overhauled. I started figuring out what needed my attention, and what required to be given away.
