It was the lack of control. I had no control over the goals, no control over the deadlines. - Many people suffering from burnout tend to be high-achievers, for whom a [sense of control](https://nesslabs.com/mindframing) is particularly important. Moreover, it makes it harder to share your struggles with your colleagues, as mental health is still pretty much taboo and losing control is not something that will make you shine in the workplace. - Turns out, burnout has a sibling called boreout, where people struggle with the “daily sameness” of their job. - “You become irritated, cynical, and you feel worthless. Although you don’t have enough to do, or what you have to do is not stimulating you enough, you get extremely stressed. (…) With a boreout, you get stuck in your ‘comfort zone’ for too long, until your personal development comes to a halt.” – [Steve Savels](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/exhausted-your-job-might-burn-out-something-different-steve-savels/), Psychologist. - You don’t find your purpose, you build it.
