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 professionals 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.

Do not answer based on what you think sounds better or what you wish were true. The more honest you are, the more useful your diagnosis will be.
