If you have reached burnout, the worst advice you will hear is that one good weekend fixes it — recovery is measured in weeks and months, and expecting a fast fix is part of the problem. This plan meets you where the science points: less load, more restoration, more autonomy, in that order. Week one protects sleep and drops every non-essential obligation. Week two adds a daily restoration block you genuinely enjoy. Week three returns one task with a boundary that sticks. It is a slow plan on purpose — slow is what works.
A gentle week-by-week recovery path from exhaustion at home and work, with boundaries that actually stick.
Most people feel meaningfully better within a month of real load reduction, with fuller recovery over two to three months. The danger window is weeks one to two, when the urge to 'catch up' returns.
Usually not. The levers are load, restoration and control — many people recover by changing one or two of those rather than leaving. That said, a job that blocks all three is a signal to plan an exit.
Guilt about resting is a symptom of burnout, not evidence you do not deserve it. Naming that — out loud if you can — is genuinely part of the treatment.
