I realized I was burning out when I started yelling at my kids. Here's how I realized it and I quit the job although I loved it. At the end of every day I started reflecting on it. I started looking for answers and realized once you hit your peak of stress level your mind can handle, you start to crack, show signs of strong negative emotions during meetings/discussions, you will show those emotions somewhere else (like in traffic, waiting for coffee, when your kids take time to get ready), you loose patience and your rational mind starts to break down. I later learned from some of the self book on how to not end up like that. There is a book called "Essentialism by Greg McKeown", you probably know by the title. But honestly do yourself a favor, read it/listen and try to apply and see if it helps. Quitting should be the last option unless you already have another plan instead do the minimal thing necessary to keep your job (just as it says in the book). Remember, it's ok to do just enough work as long as you enjoy doing that, nobody can force you to put extra effort(it's ok to say no). It's based on how much effort you can put without reaching your breaking limit. Know your limits. Use tools to increase that limit (that's a career growth .. sometimes slow growth.. sometimes fast growth)
