Burnout Spectrum — a calm check-in on everyday signs of burnout

What it checks — the four facets

The check-in looks at four everyday areas on their own, so you can see which one (if any) is carrying the most weight — rather than a single overall label.

• Personal Depletion — Your everyday energy — whether rest restores you, or you tend to run on empty.
• Work Load — The volume and pace of what is on your plate, and how far it spills into evenings and weekends.
• Work Meaning — How connected and engaged you feel with the work itself — versus going through the motions.
• Relational Depletion — How much energy the people you work with or care for take from you right now (common in caring, teaching, healthcare, managing, and parenting roles).

Your result — where you land on the spectrum

You get a placement on a Low → Moderate → High spectrum for each of the four facets — a small profile, not one number and not a yes/no verdict. Each placement comes with a short, plain-language read: Low is about protecting what's working, Moderate is a course-correcting zone with gentle prompts, and High is treated as a signal worth listening to rather than pushing through.

At the High end, the check-in's own copy nudges toward professional support — if depletion comes with low mood, loss of pleasure, or hopelessness, a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional is the right next step. The result reflects the patterns in how you answered today; it points you toward help when relevant, and never stands in for it.
