<p>I'm tackling a massive challenge today: burnout. While the standard advice usually involves working less, I want to show you a practical dimension of burnout you have more control over, focusing on increasing your agency and autonomy to manage chronic workplace stress more effectively. Burnout is classified by the ICD-11 as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.</p><p>This episode includes practical advice for understanding and addressing burnout by shifting focus from reducing work volume to increasing control and resources.</p><ul><li>Understand the three dimensions of burnout as classified by the ICD-11: <strong>feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion</strong>, <strong>increased mental distance/negativity</strong> toward the job, and <strong>reduced professional efficacy</strong>.</li><li>Discover why the amount of time you work is <strong>not</strong> a direct input to burnout, meaning working less is often impractical and may not solve the underlying issue.</li><li>Learn the core philosophy for addressing burnout: <strong>In order to control stress, provide control</strong> (meaning agency and autonomy).</li><li>Explore why stress is directly correlated to the ratio of demands placed on you versus the resources (including decision-making power, training, and tooling) you have to meet those demands.</li><li>I’ll give you practical ways to approach your manager to secure necessary resources, training, or mentoring to improve your professional efficacy and reduce job negativity.</li></ul><h2>📮 Ask a Question</h2><p>If you enjoyed this episode and would like me to discuss a question that you have on the show, drop it over at: <a href="https://www.developertea.com/contact">developertea.com.</a></p><h2>📮 Join the <a href="https://developertea.com/discord">Discord</a></h2><p>If you want to be a part of a supportive community of engineers (non-engineers welcome!) working to improve their lives and careers, join us on the Developer Tea Discord community by visiting <a href="https://developertea.com/discord">https://developertea.com/discord</a> today!</p><h2>🧡 Leave a Review</h2><p>If you're enjoying the show and want to support the content head over to iTunes and <a href="https://ratethispodcast.com/devtea">leave a review</a>!
