Burnout or Boredom Diagnostic · JRDN Advisory

You are exhausted.
But is it the work — or the wrong work entirely?

There is a critical difference between burnout and boredom — and most people confuse them. Burnout says: I need rest, recovery, and space. Boredom says: I need a different challenge, a bigger stage, or a completely different direction. Getting the diagnosis wrong leads to the wrong solution.

A rest will not fix boredom. And a new job will not fix burnout. The most important thing you can do right now is understand which one you are actually dealing with — and that is what these 10 questions are designed to help you do.
