WORKPLACE PROMPTS
Document workload reality before exhaustion decides for you
Burnout sneaks up when unsustainable weeks become the default normal. These prompts help you document workload reality with counted facts.
Why these prompts work
When exhaustion sets in, articulately communicating workload challenges becomes difficult. Keeping dated records of demands and feelings provides clarity when deciding on necessary changes.
The Prompts
“How many hours this week were spent on reactive emergencies versus planned work?”
Measures operational stability and systemic fire-fighting.
“What physical signs of fatigue or tension did you notice during your workday?”
Monitors physical markers before severe burnout manifests.
“When was the last time you completely disconnected from work communications for 24 hours?”
Tracks true recovery intervals.
“What expectation or deadline felt unreasonable, and did you express that boundary?”
Evaluates communication around unrealistic workloads.
“What is one concrete workload adjustment that would immediately restore breathing room?”
Focuses on practical, actionable remedies rather than passive despair.
