The biggest signs of burnout are when you just don't care anymore and the quality of your work starts to suffer. When you start to dread going into work and have to force yourself to do so by way of avoiding negative consequences (shame, unemployment, not being able to pay the bills, eviction, etc.) When your plans related to work grow increasingly disconnected from reality and haven't seen traction for ages (i.e. you'll quit and start freelancing, win the lottery, turn things around tomorrow and get that promotion, etc.)
