Stress & Mental Load

This explainer defines burnout using its three commonly cited components, exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced efficacy, and separates it from short-term work stress that resolves with rest. It describes the duration and pattern differences between the two.

This how-to explains how to design a recurring weekly block for stress recovery based on available time rather than an idealized schedule, and lists activities with documented stress-reduction benefit. It also covers how to adjust the routine when work demands spike.
