Found this wonderfully researched blog on burnout, causes, symptoms, and remedies. https://translationmusings.com/2011/02/09/dealing-with-job-burnout/

Here is the source on Helpnet.org for their references:

My own dance at the moment is any illusion I give myself I'm handling life well with all the complexities of my work piling on and up. OK, fess up time—I'm not dealing super well with details. Misfiled a check (quickly found). Washed a jacket with everything in the pockets (gloves, ski hat, comb, tissues).

So, today's remedy?/meditation is: going (working) in flow motion. When something occurs to me, do it then. Need a few single bills for my out of town trip for tips, put it with the other things I'm packing, now. Feel like treating myself to brunch out, do it. Need a nap, nap.

This is my last day without appointments, and the next three are high stress, followed by high workload for a couple of days.

I've worked hard since maybe when I was toddler to tie my own shoes, later, pay bills, get around independently, etc. To stick with my own state of stretched thinness is healthy and humbling and uncomfortable.

Yes, I'm uncomfortable knowing that details want to runaway and hide.

How do you feed details? What are treats for details? How can details become my friends?
