Not a discipline problem.
A nervous system problem.

Burnout is not a character flaw. It is a nervous system stuck in overdrive (sympathetic dominance) with the accelerator jammed on and the brake disconnected. Your body has lost the ability to switch off.

The good part: it is trainable. Restore the capacity to recover, and the rest follows. Deeper sleep, steadier energy, sharper thinking.

Closer to burnout than you think?
