Burned Out?

Je lisais l'article d'un vieux Scientific American de l'été 2006 qui parlait des burns out et je dois dire que je me reconnait dans plusieurs des caractéristiques des gens susceptibles d'avoir un burn-out:

• ...found that one third of workers ages 25 to 39 already felt burned out...
• ...people suffered from mood fluctuations, disturbed sleep and difficulty concentrating...
• ...physical ailments such as backaches or digestive disorders...
• ...impossible production deadline, dash to a meeting, hurriedly pack for yet another last-minute business trip...
• ...tends to hit the best employees, those with enthusiasm who accept responsibility readily and whose job is an important part of their identity...
• ...excessive ambition...
  
• ...pulling late nights at the office, ignoring exercise, skipping meals...
  
• ...canceling personal dates...
• ...find it hard to concentrate, they have few creative ideas, and their memories often fail...
• ...anxiety about failure...
• ...inability to find meaning in life outside of work...
