Some of the primary causes of burnout are workload and a lack of control. In the coronavirus economy, where many people are losing their jobs, leaving others with extra burdens, and everyone is working remotely for the foreseeable future, burnout is increasingly likely. It may feel like there isn't much that you can control right now, but there are ways to help you relax and avoid burnout while working from home. We've rounded up some products that can help you unwind in the way that works best for you.
