Do you have any energy left after work?

When talking about burnout, it's easy to focus only on fatigue. This questionnaire invites you to consider the connection between work pressure, recovery, and everyday life—without labeling or blaming yourself.

Start the questionnaire

Familiar situation

For example, the workday is over, but you keep checking messages, mentally returning to unfinished tasks, and you start your day off already exhausted. Maybe the problem isn't just about "managing your time" better; the environment and expectations are also important.

Personal reflection

Work strain and recovery: what affects your day?

Six short questions to explore whether rest, small steps or connection may help with work strain.

This is an educational reflection, not a test for depression or burnout. Burnout is work-related and is not a medical diagnosis. If difficulties persist or worsen, speak with a qualified professional.

How can this questionnaire help?

What to pay attention to

  • Which job requirements are repeated, and how much control do you have over them?
  • When you're on vacation, are you able to disconnect from work, or do you feel like you always have to be available?
  • Are changes in sleep, mood, or health limited to work, or do they extend to other areas of life?

What questions will you address?

  1. After a demanding day, what helps you most?
  2. When daily life feels heavy, where would you start?
  3. Which reminder feels most helpful right now?

A little preparation

  1. Write down the moment in a typical week when work invades your personal time.
  2. Distinguish what you can change yourself, what you should discuss with your manager or a colleague, and what is beyond your control.
  3. Choose one safe step—for example, clearly state your rest limit or describe to a specialist the changes in your sleep and energy levels.

What the result doesn't say

The World Health Organization describes burnout as a phenomenon in the context of work, not a medical diagnosis. Fatigue, changes in sleep, or a drop in mood may also have other causes. The questionnaire does not distinguish those causes.

What to do next

If the pressure persists, support may include reviewing work conditions, personal boundaries, and professional assistance. If the situation affects other areas of your life or worrisome symptoms arise, also speak with the appropriate healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is burnout the same as depression?

No. They may present similarly, but the burn refers to the work context. You can't diagnose it solely with a questionnaire; if necessary, consult a specialist.

Should I quit my job if I feel burned out?

The questionnaire doesn't provide such a decision. It's more useful to identify the sources of pressure, your potential limits, and the safety or financial conditions—then decide on the next step.

What to discuss with a specialist?

Present the specific changes in work demands, sleep, energy levels, and rest. Ask how one can assess other possible causes and develop a realistic support plan.
