We often think of burnout as something that happens in the workplace.
For example, in the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases, version 11) the World Health Organisation defines burn-out as “a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed (see Burn-out an "occupational phenomenon": International Classification of Diseases).
It [burnout] is characterized by three dimensions:

feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
reduced professional efficacy.
But in today’s podcast episode with Counselling and Clinical Pyschologist Katrina Streatfeild, we argue that the definition of what constitutes a “workplace” needs to be widened … a lot.
Because burnout can affect more people than just those in paid work.
So as a busy person, whether in paid or unpaid work, are you at risk of burnout? And if you are, what can you do about it?
