I suspect burnout is partially related to (1) working on projects that don’t light you up and/or (2) few signals of progress. Some projects are a wellspring of energy. Others are a blackhole. If the work feeds you and you’re making progress, then energy seems almost limitless.

Burnout is the result of a person experiencing cognitive dissonance against himself, where he is working hard to meet a goal that he himself does not believe he can achieve.

One hypothesis: Burnout occurs when your real work significantly exceeds baseline work capacity. For ex., most 40hr work week knowledge workers likely have ~15-20hrs of “real” work. A deadline forcing a marginal 15h of focused real work contributes to burnout.

Burn out comes from learned helplessness. When your motivation to work drops you burn out from forcing yourself to work more anyways. If you love your work you can work a ton more before you hit exhaustion, which typically can be recovered quickly compared to burnout.

Burnout comes from loss of control & impact, not from how hard you work. Physical overload is still possible but easy to overcome & control compared to burnouts.
