What it measures

Burnout is not one thing.

"Tired" is too vague to act on. This assessment separates six patterns that get lumped together as burnout, because each one calls for a different response.

Exhaustion

Energy depletion that sleep alone doesn't fix, and recovery that doesn't last once the demands return.

Cynicism

Emotional distance. Things that used to land now feel dimmer, and your patience runs out faster.

Effectiveness

Second-guessing yourself, postponing what matters, and starting things you don't finish.

Meaning erosion

The gap between what fills your days and what actually matters to you.

Underchallenge

Boreout. Feeling flat because the most capable parts of you are not being used.

Self-minimization

Knowing something is off, then dismissing it because other people have bigger problems.

What you get

More than a score.

A number without a next step is just decoration. Your result comes with the context to actually use it.

  • Your burnout profile across all six dimensions, with your strongest driver named
  • Action steps sized for today, this week, and this month, matched to your result
  • A guided breathing reset to downshift before you reflect
  • Journaling prompts tailored to your pattern, saved only on your device

Hi, I'm Alexandra.

I'm the founder of Grit Journals, a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher, and a recovering over-functioner with a decade in B2B tech marketing behind me. I built this assessment because "just rest more" never helped me, and naming the actual pattern did.
