IMO Burnout is a loop spiralling out of control. Solution is a break out of the loop. But how? Mass acquisition of resources?

And remember you have the option to walk away if your goals aren't met. The latter is key - making a reasonable CHOICE to be in the situation is a big step towards making it bearable.
