Awakening Note

Burnout: exhaustion, not laziness

Burnout is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion caused by prolonged stress and overwork, often with cynicism and a drop in performance. It is not laziness — it is depletion.

Lighter systems help: reducing decision load, making progress visible so effort feels worthwhile, and avoiding punitive tools that add guilt.

Awakening Note is reward-based, not punitive — it makes progress visible and never guilt-trips you, which is gentler on a depleted system.
