How Do You Recognize Emotional Burnout?

Burnout doesn't always happen overnight. Sometimes it builds so gradually that you don't notice until everyday tasks feel overwhelming. What were the first signs you missed, and what would you do differently now?

Emotional burnout shows up when even small tasks start feeling overwhelming and things I normally enjoy stop feeling rewarding. I also notice I become more irritable, mentally exhausted, and less motivated. That's usually my sign that I need to slow down and recharge.
