That number isn't a judgment. It's a measurement of how long you've been running on empty. The toolkit you're holding is the first investment in reversing it.
Part two — what burnout is stealing from you
These can't be totaled in a spreadsheet. But they're real. Fill in what's true for you.
Experiences put on hold
Things you've said no to because you had nothing left to give
Something you wanted to do but kept postponing
A friendship, relationship, or part of yourself that's faded
Goals and potential deferred
What burnout has quietly talked you out of
A business idea, creative project, career move, or personal goal
Who were you before burnout took over? What did she love?
Help I need but won't allow myself
Support you've been carrying alone out of guilt or identity
Outsourcing, help, support — that guilt has kept out of reach
