The Burnout Score.

How do you feel when you wake up in the morning — before anything has actually happened?

Be honest about the very first physical sensation of waking, before coffee or phone.

When something small goes wrong — a missed email, a minor inconvenience — how do you respond?

Think about the last few times this happened, not the ideal version of yourself.

When you complete something significant at work, what do you feel?

Not what you think you should feel. What actually happens.

How often do you experience unexplained physical symptoms — headaches, jaw tension, GI issues, recurring illness?

Your body keeps score. Be honest about what it's been telling you.

After a full weekend of rest, how do you feel going into Monday?

Not ideally. Actually.

How has your relationship with the people you care about changed over the last year?

Think about how present you actually are, not how present you intend to be.

How do you feel about the work you do — its meaning, its value, its alignment with who you are?

Not whether it pays well. Whether it means anything to you anymore.

In the last few months, how would you describe your overall emotional state?

Not your best days. Your average.

How is your sleep — not just quantity, but quality and how restored you feel?

Many people with burnout sleep adequate hours and still feel depleted.

When you imagine your life six months from now — if nothing changes — how does that feel?

This is the clearest indicator of where you actually are.
