Burnout Recovery Plan

Q: How do I know the Burnout Recovery Plan output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Diagnoses the specific burnout drivers, not just "you're tired"; Provides immediate relief steps; Addresses root causes (boundaries/workload/role), not only rest; Includes a concrete manager conversation where relevant.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-05 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-career

Build a realistic recovery plan for burnout — address the causes, not just the symptoms — with changes you can actually make at work and outside it. Use when asked to help with burnout, I'm burnt out, how to recover from burnout, or I'm exhausted and dread work. Produces a read on what's driving the burnout (load, control, reward, fairness, values, community), immediate relief steps, the boundary and workload changes that address the root, a recovery timeline with realistic expectations, and a flag that severe or persistent burnout/depression warrants a professional. Not medical advice.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“I'm completely burnt out at work — help me recover.”“I dread every workday and I'm exhausted all the time.”“How do I recover from burnout without quitting?”“What do I even say to my manager about my workload?”“I rested but the burnout came right back — what am I missing?”

What to give it

▸The signs — exhaustion, cynicism, dread, reduced performance, physical symptoms

▸The context — job/role, workload, control, and what specifically drains you

▸How long — recent or long-running (affects severity)

▸What you can change — leverage at work, financial constraints, support available

▸Severity — coping but depleted, or genuinely unable to function

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Diagnoses the specific burnout drivers, not just "you're tired"

✓Provides immediate relief steps

✓Addresses root causes (boundaries/workload/role), not only rest

✓Includes a concrete manager conversation where relevant

✓Sets realistic, non-linear recovery expectations

✓Flags when to seek professional help

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**"Take a vacation"** as the whole answer — relapse guaranteed.

**Only symptom relief** with no change to the causes.

**Ignoring the workplace drivers** the person can influence.

**Promising a fast fix.**

**Missing signs** that need medical/therapeutic help.
