Fair, I would rephrase by saying, accept this instance of burnout, then reflect on the trajectory that got us there. Burnout passes, it's just a matter of mitigating the consequences when it happens. If you are in a high friction situation, we need to apply our intelligence to changing those circumstances or finding new ones that are enriching instead of grinding in an environment that isn't going to change. Burnout is like being down a hole you can't dig out of, and if you're willing to consider that you just suck at something (even if you're actually pretty good), it depersonalizes it enough to step back and climb out. But again, fair call on my phrasing and tone, thank you.
