Claim: burnout is the ongoing feeling that today’s resources aren’t enough for tomorrow’s demands and it hits about two thirds of full‑time workers (23% very often/always, 44% sometimes). A concrete three‑part burnout resistance framework prescribes actions: burn down barriers (public team channels, Sparkle recognition), burn down distractions (say no, one‑week social‑media break, “impact” and “castle” refusers), burn down illness (sleep hygiene: 68°F, weighted blanket). Harvard B‑School cites stress at 8% of national health spending ($190B). Interventions report better focus and team communication.
