Many people think of burnout like a light switch - on or off, you’re either burnt out or you’re not.

This leads to a reactive approach where people don’t take the necessary steps to address burnout until they’ve already been struggling for weeks or even months.

Are you skating close to burnout without realizing it? This is your early warning system.

BU Burnout Barometer

Burnout can sneak up on you.

It starts quietly, hidden behind your busy days.


You might not notice it at first. It feels like you're just tired or having a rough week.

But if you don't pay attention, it can grow stronger and take away your energy and happiness.


Your Burnout Score is more than just a quiz.
It's a tool that helps you understand and keep track of your mental health.

It doesn’t just tell you if you're burnt out right now. It also shows you the early warning signs.

 

This way, you can start to preempt and prevent it from overwhelming your life.

How It Works

In this short quiz, you’ll be asked questions about each of the 12 distinct stages of burnout.

At the end of the quiz, you’ll receive a personalised PDF report that details your burnout score and where it sits on the burnout spectrum.
