What is burnout?

It makes sense that most people think of burnout as being overworked. From a superficial standpoint, this makes sense. However, if that is the case, why is Elon Musk, who religiously works seven days a week and many, many more hours than forty, not burnt out? This scenario is because burnout also consists of aspects of feeling inspired and seeing the fruits of our labor manifest before our eyes. We also need to have a sense of purpose in our work. If these aspects are not present in our daily lives, then we will surely feel “burnt out.”
