Should you track levels of burnout? Simple and easy to know.

I wanted to give you a quick and easy way to track burnout.

It does not take long to fill out but gives you insight into what levels of burnout you may be facing.

I have been using it for several months now. I can’t find the original source, but it is the same as the one found here - https://www.mindtools.com/auhx7b3/burnout-self-test

Here is the Excel version to download.

How to Use!

1. Download the spreadsheet and upload it to your online file system
2. Get the link to the spreadsheet and create a recurring calendar entry with the link to the spreadsheet in it once a month.
3. Each month, copy the blank spreadsheet template to a new tab.
4. Complete the assessment and add up your score.

Over time you will be able to see your burnout score and whether it is decreasing or increasing.

Having the awareness of your score can help you know whether your burnout level is high and take action to resolve it.

Exercise, sleep, meditation and nature all help.

Hope you find it useful.
