1. Breaks No Longer Help
When you’re overwhelmed or stressed a good 15-minute-break should help you put things into perspective. It’s a designated amount of time to allow your mind to reset and expel any stress you may be induced with.
If 15-minute-breaks are consistently not helping you reset, then you’re taking on too much.

2. Early Anxiety
Before your day officially begins, you can feel the anxiety building up. It’s not healthy to allow stress to embody your existence on a daily basis. Obviously it’s absolutely normal to experience periods of stress however, those times should not take over your daily regiment.
Make a list of the priorities in your life and evaluate what is not a necessary to do on your list.

3. Social Procrastinator
One sign tof getting burned out is to spend way too much time on Facebook, Twitter, message boards, blogs, ESPN, news sites, anything to put off doing work. As a person who gets burned out, procrastinating on things like surfing the net, tweeting more and commenting on Facebook posts and blogs is a way many cope.
