"It’s getting towards the time of the year when you might feel more overwhelmed
than usual. There are work projects to finish and perhaps exams in the family.
Not to mention the pressures of organising holidays or gifts. Burnout is a real
possibility.

Burnout is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as having three main
symptoms – exhaustion, loss of empathy and reduced performance at work.

Australian research argues for a broader model, particularly as the WHO’s third
symptom may simply be a consequence of the first two.

So what is burnout really? And how can you avoid it before the holidays hit?"
