How do you deal with burnout when you cannot afford to quit your job?

Question

I am completely burned out at work. I dread every morning, I have no energy, and I feel like I am just going through the motions. But I cannot quit because I have bills and responsibilities. How do you manage burnout when leaving is not an option right now?

Burnout is usually caused by a specific combination of factors: overwork, lack of control, lack of recognition, or values mismatch. Identify your specific cause and address it directly. Sometimes small changes make significant differences.

Use whatever time off you have even if it's just a long weekend. Protect your non-work hours completely. Start a quiet job search in the background so leaving feels like a choice not a trap.
