Burnout.
The signs of burnout are all there well before the breakdown occurs. You just have to know where to look and what to look for.
The LOG viewpoint
How LOG sees burnout.
LOG measurement treats burnout as a pattern in a system, not a fixed label. What you see in the assessment isn't who you are. It's where your system is right now, across the parts of your life that matter, viewed through the lens that fits.
That's what makes the measurement useful. Two people taking the same assessment can land in very different places. Take it again after a few months of doing the work, and the picture moves. The point of LOG isn't to give a snapshot. It's to chart movement over time.
- States, not traits.Where you are now, not who you are forever.
- Five named stages.So you can see where you are, and where you're going.
- Multiple lenses.The same framework applied across different parts of life.
- Measurable change.Take it again. See what's moved. Decide what's worth your time.
