Catch Burnout Before It Catches You
Irritability. Brain fog. Sunday dread. You notice them — then ignore them.
You power through because that's what high performers do.
By the time burnout is obvious, you've already lost months of your best work. And your best life.


Which days are hardest? When do you recover – and when don't you? Burnout Shield shows you the data so you can make changes before your body forces them on you.

I burned out after two years of pushing through. Recovery took six months.

How accurate is the burnout score?
The check-in is based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the most validated burnout assessment in occupational psychology. We've adapted it for weekly tracking so you catch trends early.
How long do the exercises take?
2-4 minutes. Designed for people with demanding schedules.
Can I use this during my workday?
Absolutely. That's the point. Quick resets you can do at your desk, between meetings, or wherever you are.
How often do I need to use it?
Weekly check-ins keep you aware of your stress levels. Quick resets whenever you need them. That's it.
What happens when my score is high?
You'll get a clear alert with context on which dimension spiked (exhaustion, detachment, or overload) — plus a matched micro-exercise if you want immediate relief.
Is this a replacement for therapy?
No. Burnout Shield is an early warning system, not treatment. If your scores indicate clinical-level burnout, we'll encourage you to seek professional support.
