Benefits
The burnout test is basically a stress questionnaire that we provide online as a free burnout assessment tool for you. Especially if you've been struggling to keep up with work or personal responsibilities, and feel like you're constantly running on empty, you're not alone. Burnout is a very real and common experience, especially in today's fast-paced world, and especially post-COVID.
Determine your state of emotional exhaustion
First, recognize the signs of burnout. Do you feel exhausted, unmotivated, and overwhelmed? Are you struggling to focus or find joy in your work? These are all red flags that you may be experiencing burnout.
Your feelings and instinct, and cues from friends, could be signaling what you’re already thinking - that you’re going through burnout. Lack of sleep or excess sleep, tiredness, low cognitive function and signals from others could already be valid warnings.
To have an independent, structured way to identify burnout psychologists have create the burnout inventory. Basically you can take a Burnout symptoms test - with Gyfted you can take our Burnout test, to take an important step in prioritizing your mental fitness and well-being.

Frequently asked questions
How to stop burnout?
To stop burnout in its tracks, you need to take a step back and prioritize your well-being. This may mean taking a break, delegating tasks to others, or reassessing your priorities. As difficult as it may be, sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself and your business is to step away and recharge. It's also important to seek support from those around you. Whether it's a trusted colleague, friend, or family member, having someone to talk to can make all the difference. Don't be afraid to ask for help or share your struggles. You'll be surprised at how many people can relate and are willing to lend a helping hand.
Remember, burnout is not a sign of weakness, but rather a signal that something needs to change and that you need to take care of yourself and make self-care a priority.
How to avoid burnouts?
Avoiding burnout requires a proactive approach to managing your time, energy, and priorities. If you’re feeling you’re experiencing it, then take a burnout syndrome test. Then, set realistic goals, prioritize self-care, learn to say no, and practice time management. You can't be an effective leader or entrepreneur if you're constantly burnt out. By making self-care a priority, you'll be better equipped to handle the challenges that come your way.
How to overcome burnout at work?
Overcoming burnout at work isn’t easy. The first step is to recognize that you are experiencing burnout - taking a Burnout self test for instance would help in this - and it's okay to talk to your manager or colleagues about how you're feeling and explore options to reduce your workload or adjust your responsibilities.
It's important to prioritize self-care and make time for activities that help you recharge, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. Take breaks throughout the day, even if it's just a few minutes to stretch or take a walk outside. And consider taking time off if necessary to truly disconnect and recharge. Also don't be afraid to seek support outside of work. Talk to friends or family members, consider seeing a therapist or counselor, or join a support group. You don't have to go through this alone.
However, if your manager and organization are not helpful and in fact are working against your well-being, then you should read our post on legitimate reasons to quit your job.
How to recover from burnout?
Above all slow down and take a break, let go of “tasks” and responsibilities where possible. Give yourself time to heal and to be patient with yourself. Start by taking a break, even if it's just a few days, to completely disconnect from work and focus on self-care. Prioritize activities that bring you joy, such as hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or practicing mindfulness.
It's also important to reassess your workload and responsibilities. Talk to your manager or colleagues about this. Consider delegating tasks to others or saying no to projects that don't align with your goals or values.
We highly recommend reading this fantastic book: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck book by Mark Manson - it’s a relief, it’s fun, and it will help you get better just by reading it. Above all it’ll adjust your mindset and approach to overworking yourself. Life is not only about work!
