Do a short exercise about your provisional persona: needs, behaviors, goals, facts. Then ask yourself where you'd find that person and post a smoke test/fake door test landing page in those spaces (for example if your demographic is 50-somethings, women, disposable income, parents, etc. you may look at Facebook and find some groups to distribute your landing page).

Look for microtraction, and then experiment as much as possible.

You probably won't see any smoke, but there are some key indicators I think - regardless of if it's work burnout, pandemic burnout etc. But I assume you're mostly asking about work burnout?

If yes, the most helpful article I've found that actually shows the DEPTH of burnout (and how it can develop into chronic burnout) is this one: https://www.thisiscalmer.com/blog/5-stages-of-burnout

Basically, there are 5 stages of burnout:

1. Honeymoon phase (yaaaay work is great!)

2. Onset of stress (eeeeeek, this is kinda hard...do I even know what I'm doing?)

3. Chronic stress (ugh. Monday again. I'm too tired for this crap)

4. Burnout (everything sucks, I have no motivation, and I have no idea how to get myself out of this pit)

5. Habitual Burnout (burnout = lyfe)

The last stage is why I found this article especially helpful because burnout gets to a point right before it completely takes you out where it kind of becomes a lifestyle that you ride typically until your body makes the decision for you.

A lot of times, the trouble is that it's challenging to say no or delegate in the first place. We found that this works for us internally for helping to drive delegation: https://darja-bunch.medium.com/an-engineers-guide-to-saying-...
