Let’s get real: burnout is the air we breathe in Millennial culture. We’ve got debt up to our eyeballs, we’re working a full-time job plus driving Uber on the side, we’ve Konmari-ing our homes, and desperately trying to keep our social media presence pristine. It’s no wonder adulting feels like an uphill slog. No matter how many times we try to incorporate mindfulness into our daily lives or Pomodoro Method ourselves into more efficiency it feels like that to do list will never be complete: and that’s probably because Millennials have spent their lives searching for efficiency, optimization, and achievement.

If you’re feeling like life is a treadmill, this quiz is your chance to see if you’re heading towards burnout…and maybe just stop before it’s too late. Tell us about your work/life balance, your hobbies, your anxiety, and we’ll let you know if burnout is becoming a problem in your life.
