The few things that actually move burnout — backed by evidence.
Planning your day…
Switch off after work
Psychological detachment is the #1 evidence-based recovery lever. Pick a daily cut-off and protect it — no email, no work thoughts. Even one fully-off hour helps.
Take micro-breaks
A 5-minute break every 60–90 minutes lowers exhaustion and restores focus. Stand up, look far, move — away from screens.
Protect your sleep
Sleep is where you recover. Keep a consistent wind-down: dim lights, no work screens 60 min before bed, same sleep/wake time.
