Q: I\u2019m starting a new job in a few weeks. What can I do to prevent burnout?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking the next step in your career can be exciting \u2014 but it can also come with feelings of stress and anxiety which, overtime, can lead to burnout.<\/p>\n

While not considered a medical condition, burnout is recognized as a workplace phenomenon, according to the World Health Organization<\/a>. People who experience it may feel physically and emotionally drained, or be exhausted before the work day even begins, experts said. They may also feel cynical about work and think they\u2019re underperforming. Sometimes, burnout can mimic depression<\/a> and make it difficult to enjoy daily life.<\/p>\n

It can feel like \u201ccarrying a heavy load, like a sack of potatoes, all the time,\u201d said Luana Marques, an associate professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School who runs a clinic that helps executives manage burnout.<\/p>\n

In a 2024 poll<\/a> of more than 2,000 full-time workers in the United States, researchers found that more than half reported feeling burned out within the past year. And while preventing burnout shouldn\u2019t be your responsibility alone, there are some steps you can take to minimize it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
