Keynote: Burnout and Balance
summary
Burnout shrinks usable working memory so cognitive load balloons and focus collapses — a demo uses plastic cups to show capacity. Diagnosis references the Mayo Clinic diagnostic survey and warns recovery takes far longer than people expect. Two recovery paths appear: take significant time off if affordable, or triage work aggressively — outsource, say no, count emotional “hexes” and ask for help. Not medical advice; seek a doctor for serious symptoms.
